How should you treat a child with otitis media and yellow fluid in the ear?

Patient's question:

Female baby, only 2 years old, recently, the child said her ears hurt. I noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish. Additionally, she seems to have no appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How should a middle ear infection with yellow fluid in the ear be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Treating pediatric otitis media first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be used. If the child's ear pain is significant, appropriate pain-relieving medication should be given. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These are relatively common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a perforated eardrum, timely medical surgery is required. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
