Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. This week, my child has been experiencing some ear pain. In the morning, there is occasionally yellow liquid leaking out, and the ears make a buzzing sound. Additionally, there is a slight fever. Please advise: How is it best to treat otitis media with yellow fluid in children?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. Local treatments can also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to children. If the child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the child experiences a perforated eardrum, it is advisable to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
