How to treat a child's middle ear infection with yellow fluid in the ear

Patient's question:

My child is a boy, 6 years old. This week, the child said his ears hurt. Additionally, we noticed that the earwax was purulent, slightly yellow, accompanied by a headache and fever. Please ask: How should we treat the child's otitis media with yellow fluid in the ears?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, if it is childhood otitis media, treatment with some antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. It can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain, it is recommended to give some painkillers based on the situation. If the child has a high fever, it is appropriate to use some fever-reducing medication. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child has a problem with a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgery in a timely manner. During the treatment period, it is important to give the child adequate nutrition, with a diet that is light and simple. It is also important to pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue.
