Question
Dear Parent, my son is almost 6 years old. In the past few days, he has been complaining of itchy and painful ears. I have noticed that there is sometimes a yellow liquid discharge, along with a buzzing sound in his ear and a slight fever. How should we treat his otitis media with yellow discharge?
Answer
For a better treatment of otitis media, it is advisable to choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. Regional medication can also be used, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the baby. If the pain in the ear is severe, some painkillers can be administered appropriately. If the child has a particularly high fever accompanied by the condition, some antipyretics should be used in moderation. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above methods are commonly used for treatment, but if the child shows symptoms of perforated tympanic membrane, immediate hospital treatment and surgery may be required. Parents should also pay attention to protecting their children well in daily life to prevent otitis media from recurring.
