Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. This week, the child said his ears feel itchy and painful. I noticed there is a lot of yellow earwax, and he also has a low fever. Please ask: How should my child treat otitis media with yellow fluid in the ear?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be used. Local drug treatment can be applied, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media currently. Additionally, if eardrum perforation occurs, timely surgery is necessary. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
