Patient's question:
My boy, he's 3 years old. Recently, the child told me his ear aches a little. In the morning, I found the earwax to be purulent, a bit yellow. At the same time, his appetite isn't good, and his throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How to treat otitis media with yellow fluid in the ear.Doctor's answer:
Treatment should be based on the child's symptoms and appropriate anti-inflammatory medication should be given. If the child's condition is more severe, local treatments can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child has severe ear pain, mild pain-relieving medication can be used in moderation. Additionally, if the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. For high fever, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media. Furthermore, if there is a perforation of the eardrum, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred.
