Patient's question:
Little girl, currently 4 years old. Recently, the child has said her ears hurt. Upon examination, the earwax appears a bit thick and yellow, and she has a buzzing sensation in her ears. Additionally, she has a slight fever. Please advise: How should middle ear infection with yellow fluid in the ears be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, anti-inflammatory drugs can be used according to the symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to give some pain-relieving medication based on the situation. If the child has a fever, parents can give them some fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. In addition to these medication methods, if the child's condition is severe and an eardrum perforation occurs, hospital treatment is required. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest time.
