Patient's question:
My little girl, she is 9 years old. Recently, her ears have been a bit painful. I noticed that occasionally, there is some yellow liquid oozing out. Additionally, her ears are buzzing, and she has a slight fever. I would like to ask: For ear discharge in pediatric otitis media, what treatment is most effective?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used for the clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used in conjunction. For ear pain, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If accompanied by high fever, medications should be used according to the child's symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if an eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with ample nutrition, with a diet focused on light meals. Additionally, adequate rest should be ensured to avoid fatigue.
