Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 5 years old. This week, the child said his ears hurt. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and it seemed he had no appetite and felt very weak. Could you please advise: How should middle ear infection with yellow fluid in the ear be treated?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local treatment options can be considered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. Depending on the child's condition, pain relief medication can also be given, especially when ear pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child has a high fever, appropriate doses of fever-reducing medication should be used. In severe cases, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child develops serious conditions, such as a punctured eardrum, timely medical treatment is required. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest.
