Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. Recently, he said his ears hurt. In the morning, there was occasionally a yellow liquid discharge, and at the same time, he seemed to have no appetite and felt very weak. Could you please tell me how to treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, they can use anti-inflammatory drugs to alleviate symptoms, and can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child has ear pain, they can also be given pain relievers. If the child has a high fever, appropriate fever-reducing medication should be used. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the patient develops severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, they need to be taken to the hospital for surgical treatment. During this time, ensure the child gets adequate rest and eats more fruits and vegetables.
