Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, attending elementary school. This week, the child's ears have been a bit painful, and occasionally, there is also a yellow liquid discharge. Additionally, there is some low-grade fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow fluid be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic medications are commonly used in the treatment of otitis media and can be selected accordingly. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments may be combined, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. For ear pain, pain relief medication can be given to the child. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing drugs can be administered. In severe cases, it is important 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 this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
