Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 9 years old. This week, the child said his ear feels itchy and painful. Additionally, there is occasional yellow fluid discharge. Also, it seems he has no appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose according to the symptoms. Bacterial culture of ear discharge can be performed, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used based on the test results. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Additionally, if a fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Besides these medications and treatment methods, if the child experiences severe conditions, such as a ruptured eardrum, timely treatment is necessary.，。
