What to do if your child has yellow discharge from his ears

With the gradual improvement of living conditions, people nowadays are like the rich people in ancient times, eating delicious food and drinking more and more wine, smoking more and more cigarettes. At the same time, the body's resistance is getting weaker and weaker. Physical health has become the most concerned issue for modern people, especially for children who have the weakest resistance. It is said that children are now the emperors and empresses in the family. They have everything they want. Similarly, they are used to being noble and have everything provided for them. Once they suffer a little pain, they will feel extremely painful. Here are some diseases that children are prone to.

Otitis media is an inflammatory disease involving all or part of the structure of the middle ear (including the Eustachian tube, tympanic cavity, tympanic sinus and mastoid air cells), and is more common in children. It can be divided into two categories: non-purulent and purulent. Non-suppurative cases include secretory otitis media, barotraumatic otitis media, etc., while suppurative cases can be divided into acute and chronic types. Specific inflammation is very rare, such as tuberculous otitis media.

Otitis media is a bacterial infection, and antibiotics are a specific treatment. Sensitive antibiotics should be selected, generally penicillin or cephalosporin, and intravenous drip is often used as the route of administration, so that the lesion can be reached faster and the drug can take effect.

For children with otitis media caused by bacterial infection, you can first rinse with hydrogen peroxide, then apply iodine for routine disinfection, and finally give borax ear drops for treatment.

Methods/Steps

1. First, when you see pus coming out of your baby's ears, use a cotton swab to clean the pus around the baby's ears.

2. After cleaning, use hydrogen peroxide, dip a little and clean the inside of the ear.

3. Note that when cleaning, you should move in one direction and rotate slowly to dip out the pus inside.

4. If the condition does not improve, you can give your baby otitis media drops. Take 1-2 drops 2-3 times a day. (Chinese herbal medicine, no side effects on babies)

Note: Do not delay to avoid other complications.

Daily prevention knowledge:

1. To prevent colds, exercise regularly and enhance your own resistance.

2. Pay attention to rest: ensure sleep time and sleep quality, insist on exercising, and enhance the body's resistance.

3. The diet should be light, easy to digest and nutritious: eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid spicy foods such as wine, onions, garlic, etc.

4. Pay attention to ear hygiene and keep ears dry when swimming.

5. Actively treat ENT diseases such as those of the nasal cavity and nasopharynx.

Therefore, parents, please pay attention. When a child has yellow water flowing out of his ears, don’t panic too much. You can take the first aid measures introduced above, and then take the child to the hospital for a comprehensive examination to ensure safety. Of course, there is both treatment and prevention. Parents are also requested to learn the prevention knowledge introduced above to ensure the health and safety of their children.
