Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 4 years old, this week, the child's ears are a bit sore. In the morning, it was found that the earwax is purulent, a little yellow, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: how should otitis media with yellow fluid be treated.Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. Parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, consider giving pain-relieving medication. If the child also has a high fever, you can take fever-reducing medication if appropriate. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is recommended to visit the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light and easily digestible foods. Additionally, ensure the child gets plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
