Patient's question:
Male baby, just turned 1 year old. In the past few days, the child said his ears hurt. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and slightly yellow. Also, it seems he has no appetite and is very weak. Please ask: If the child has otitis media with yellow fluid in the ear, how should it be treated.Doctor's answer:
If a child has otitis media, anti-inflammatory drugs can be used to alleviate symptoms. Local treatments can also be applied, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. When the child experiences severe ear pain, mild pain relievers can be taken in moderation. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be administered. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a punctured eardrum, surgical treatment should be performed in a hospital in a timely manner. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further worsening the symptoms by catching a cold.
