Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 1 year old. Recently, her ears have been a bit painful. In the morning, there is occasionally yellow liquid leaking out, and it seems she has no appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for the treatment of otitis media and can be selected as appropriate. While taking medication, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be administered. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medications may be considered. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. If your child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to promptly seek medical treatment through surgery. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
