Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. Recently, he has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax in his ears, and he seems to have no appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How should we treat otitis media with yellow fluid in the ears?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs should be given based on the child's symptoms. A bacterial culture of the ear secretion can be performed, and anti-inflammatory ear drops should be used according to the test results. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a tympanic membrane perforation, prompt medical treatment and surgery are necessary. Pay attention to a light diet, and primarily consume liquid foods during the treatment period.
