Patient's question:
My daughter is 9 years old. Recently, she has been complaining that her ears are itchy and painful. Additionally, I noticed that the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow. At the same time, she seems to have no appetite and feels very weak. Could you please advise on how to treat otitis media with yellow fluid in her ears?Doctor's answer:
When treating these types of diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child primarily exhibits ear pain symptoms, it is recommended that parents provide appropriate pain relievers to alleviate the pain. If the child also has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child has a problem with a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and focus on liquid diets during the treatment period.
