Question
Dear Baby, currently 4 years old, has been constantly tugging at her ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, there have been occasional yellow fluids discharged, accompanied by headaches and fever. How should yellow discharge in children with otitis media be treated?
Answer
For the treatment of otitis media, you can choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance. In addition, if the condition is severe, regional treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can be considered. If the child’s main symptom is ear pain, painkillers can be taken to alleviate the symptoms. If accompanied by high fever, antipyretic drugs can be used as appropriate. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If symptoms such as perforation of the eardrum occur, timely surgical treatment is required. During the treatment period, it is recommended to supplement nutrition, eat a light diet, and ensure adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
