Patient's question:
My child is a male baby, 1 year old. This week, the child said his ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, there is occasionally yellow liquid flowing out, accompanied by a headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be used appropriately, or local medication can be applied, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the baby. If the child's ear pain is severe, pain relievers can also be given as needed. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child's condition is serious and a eardrum perforation occurs, surgical treatment in a hospital is necessary. During this time, ensure the child gets sufficient rest and eats more vegetables and fruits.
