What to do if baby has ear eczema and yellow discharge

It is quite common for children to have eczema, which is related to the child’s diet, surrounding environmental factors and physical constitution. Parents should pay great attention to the occurrence of eczema. So what should you do if your baby’s ears have yellow fluid due to eczema?

Generally, for infants with mild eczema, where only red rashes appear, applying some hormone-free eczema cream can make the rash subside and also relieve itching. However, if the baby's eczema area has already begun to ooze yellow fluid and become eroded, the condition is more serious and careful care is required. It is recommended that mothers use 3% boric acid water for cold compress. Three times a day, half an hour each time. Applying cold compress to the affected area can quickly reduce skin edema and water exudation. After cold compress, you can use external ointment for treatment, such as topical zinc oxide ointment.

If the baby's eczema is very severe and the discharge is yellow, especially when the yellow discharge is accompanied by yellow scabs on the surface of the skin lesions and symptoms of fever appear, then this situation may be caused by secondary bacterial infection of eczema. It is necessary to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time to avoid the risk of sepsis.

Generally, when infant eczema is severe, it will turn into small blisters. After scratching, yellow water will flow out or large areas of yellow scabs will appear. When the disease recurs, timely treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. Generally, treatment is carried out with complex vitamin B, vitamin C, etc. External medications can be selected according to the condition of skin lesions. For example, boric acid solution can be used for wet compresses when water comes out; after the exudation and erosion disappear, external eczema cream and other treatments can be selected. If the yellow water is infected, antibiotics can be used for treatment. There are also corticosteroids, antihistamines, etc. The specific selection can be made according to the doctor's advice.
