Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 2 years old. This week, the child told me that his ears are a bit sore. In the morning, there is occasionally yellow fluid leaking out, accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: how should a child with otitis media and yellow fluid in the ear be treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is otitis media in children, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics can be given, which is relatively effective. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child has severe ear pain, it is recommended to administer pain relief medication based on the situation. Additionally, if fever is present, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media currently. Furthermore, if there is a perforation of the eardrum, timely surgical treatment is required. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
