Question
Dear Baby, currently 3 years old, in recent days, the child’s ear has been a bit painful. In the morning, there is also occasional yellow fluid discharge, and the ear has a buzzing sound. The child also has a slight fever. How should children with otitis media and yellow discharge from the ear be treated effectively?
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. In addition, regional treatment can also be carried out, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops to treat the child when there is ear pain. Painkillers can also be given to the child if necessary. If the child is accompanied by a fever, parents can give the child some antipyretic medications. In severe cases, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if there has been a perforation of the eardrum, timely surgical treatment should be performed. Pay attention to a light diet in daily life, and mainly consume liquid foods during treatment.
