Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 4 years old. This week, the child said his ears felt itchy and painful. In the morning, there was yellow earwax discharge, and he also had some low-grade fever. Please ask: If the child has otitis media with yellow fluid in the ear, how should it be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric otitis media, treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local medication can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to give pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has a fever, parents can give fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media at present. Additionally, if there is a case of tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to undergo surgery promptly. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
