Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 4 years old, has been scratching his ears these days and says they itch. It has been noticed that yellow earwax is coming out, and there is also some low-grade fever. What treatment should be given for the child's middle ear infection with yellow fluid in the ear?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, you can first use some symptomatic antibiotic drugs. Parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to give some pain relievers based on the situation. Some children may also have a fever at this time, and oral antipyretic drugs can be given to the child. If it cannot be relieved, it is necessary to seek medical attention. Otitis media is characterized by recurrent attacks. If there is a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to seek timely treatment. While undergoing treatment, attention should also be paid to arranging a light diet for the child, strengthening nutritional supplementation, and helping to recover as soon as possible.
