Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 1 year old. In recent days, the child's ear has been a bit painful. It was noticed that there was some yellow earwax coming out. At the same time, there was some low-grade fever. Please ask: If the child has otitis media with yellow fluid in the ear, how should it be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
Treatment should be based on the child's symptoms and given symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain, a small amount of pain-relieving medication can also be used. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child has a symptom of a perforated eardrum, they need to be taken to the hospital for surgical treatment promptly. Lastly, parents should pay attention to this disease and take their child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
