Patient's question:
Little girl, only 2 years old. Recently, the child said her ears are itchy and painful, and she noticed that occasionally there is yellow fluid leaking out. At the same time, her appetite is poor, and her throat feels uncomfortable. Could you please advise on how to diagnose and treat pediatric otitis media with yellow discharge from the ears?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotics. Parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. In case of ear pain, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If the child has a high fever, it is necessary to use some fever-reducing medication in moderation. If the condition is severe, prompt medical attention is required. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or a eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be administered promptly. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
