In children with otitis media, when there is yellow fluid discharge from the ear, how should it be treated?

Patient's question:

Girl baby, only 6 years old, this week, the child told me her ears are a bit painful. In the morning, yellow earwax was flowing out, and at the same time, it seemed she had no appetite and was very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?

Doctor's answer:

To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, depending on the symptoms. You can opt for local treatment, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, you can also give them some pain-relieving medication as needed. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. If the patient experiences severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to seek surgical treatment at the hospital promptly. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the doctor for early medical treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
