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

We believe that the phenomenon of yellow water flowing out of children's ears is otitis media. Parents need to pay attention to this phenomenon in their children. If the symptoms of ear inflammation are severe, it is likely to damage some functions of the ear. Therefore, if there are signs of otitis media, you need to go to the hospital for treatment in time. Next, we will introduce in detail some solutions to the problem of yellow water flowing out of children's ears.

Otitis media, commonly known as "rotten ears", is an inflammation of the tympanic cavity mucosa. When germs enter the tympanic cavity, inflammation occurs when the body's resistance is weakened or bacterial toxins increase. Its symptoms include ear pain (worse at night), fever, chills, bitter taste in the mouth, red or yellow urine, constipation, hearing loss, etc. If the eardrum is perforated, pus will flow out of the ear and the pain will be relieved, which often exists at the same time as chronic mastoiditis. If the acute stage is not treated thoroughly, it will turn into chronic otitis media. Depending on the physical condition and climate changes, pus will often flow out of the ear, sometimes more, sometimes less, and last for many years. Traditional Chinese medicine calls this disease "ear pus" or "ear scurvy", and believes that it is caused by the prevalence of damp-heat (fire) evil qi in the liver and gallbladder.

1. Key points of self-treatment

1. Actively treat nasopharyngeal diseases to prevent bacteria from entering the middle ear and causing inflammation.

2. Do not blow your nose forcefully or rinse your nasal cavity casually. Do not close both nostrils at the same time. Blow your nose crosswise.

3. When digging out the earwax at the bottom, you should be very careful and moisten it first before digging to avoid damaging the eardrum.

4. After swimming ashore, tilt your head and hop on one foot to let the water in your ears flow out. It is best to use a cotton swab to absorb the moisture.

5. Pay attention to rest during the acute phase and keep the nasal cavity open.

If the situation is serious, they should go to the hospital for treatment in time. Children's physical condition needs to be carefully cared for and parents need to pay attention to it.
