Patient's question:
Baby girl, currently 2 years old. Recently, the child told me her ears are a bit painful. Additionally, the earwax is slightly thick and yellowish. Also, there's a buzzing sound in her ears, and she has a slight fever. Please ask: If the child has otitis media and is draining yellow fluid, how should it be treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the current methods and medications used in clinical treatment of otitis media in children. Parents can choose based on symptoms. Local drug treatment can be applied, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a ruptured eardrum, surgical treatment in a hospital is necessary. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as quickly as possible.
