Patient's question:
A 3-year-old girl has just started kindergarten. Recently, she has been scratching her ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, accompanied by some low fever. Could you please advise on how to treat otitis media with yellow fluid in her ears?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 can be used, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a high fever, antipyretic drugs should be used cautiously. If it is severe, prompt medical attention is necessary. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child's condition is severe and results in a tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment in the hospital is required. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a light diet, and to ensure adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
