For children with otitis media draining yellow fluid, how is the best treatment approach?

Patient's question:

Little girl, only 5 years old. In the past few days, the child told me that her ears a bit hurt. In the morning, there were a lot of yellow earwax, and she also had a headache and fever. Please ask: How is it better to treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children.

Doctor's answer:

When treating such diseases, you can give children some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Local medication can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, it is recommended to use some pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, please go to the hospital for emergency treatment as soon as possible. In addition to these medication methods, if the child's condition is severe and there is a perforation of the eardrum, surgical treatment is required at the hospital. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
