Patient's question:
My little girl is 7 years old. Recently, she told me that her ears are a bit painful. Additionally, there is occasionally yellow fluid leaking out. She also has poor appetite and a sore throat. I would like to ask: How should otitis media with yellow fluid in the ear be treated?Doctor's answer:
When treating these types of diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications, and local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers 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 there are multiple acute severe episodes or if an eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
