Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 4 years old. In recent days, the child said her ears hurt, and in the mornings, there was occasionally a yellow discharge. At the same time, it seems she has little appetite and is very weak. Question: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is otitis media in children, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. For children with significant ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be administered. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If your child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to visit the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. Parents should also pay attention to protective measures for the child to prevent recurrent otitis media.
