Patient's question:
My son, who is one year old, has been telling me that his ears are a bit painful recently. In the morning, some yellow earwax has been flowing out, and he also has a low-grade fever. I would like to know: How should I treat otitis media with yellow fluid in the ears?Doctor's answer:
When treating these types of diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotics. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when ear pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child exhibits symptoms of a tympanic membrane perforation, immediate medical attention and surgical treatment at the hospital are necessary. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children for medical treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to related prevention and health care measures in daily life.
