Patient's question:
My little girl is 3 years old. Recently, she told me her ears are a bit painful. I noticed that she has a lot of yellow earwax, and at the same time, she seems to have little appetite and feels very weak. I would like to ask: If my child has otitis media and is leaking yellow fluid, how should it be treated properly?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is otitis media in children, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics can be given to the child, which is relatively effective. In addition, local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. When the child's ear pain is severe, a small amount of pain-relieving medication can be used. Some children may also have a fever at this time, and oral antipyretics can be given to the child. If it cannot be relieved, it is necessary to seek medical attention. If there are multiple acute severe cases or if a eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. Pay attention to a light diet during treatment, and a liquid diet should be the main diet.
