Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 years old. In the past few days, the child has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and he also had some low fever. Please ask: If the child has otitis media with yellow fluid in the ear, how can it be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. Parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment, or they can also give pain relievers based on the child's condition, especially when the ear pain is severe, to help alleviate the suffering. If the child also has a high fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication accordingly. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a symptom of eardrum perforation, it is necessary to visit the hospital for surgical treatment promptly. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help promote early recovery.
