Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 5 years old. Recently, his ears have been a bit painful. Additionally, it was found that the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow, and there is a buzzing sound in the ear. Also, he has a slightly low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow fluid discharge in children be treated properly?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, first you can use some symptomatic antibiotic medication. Local medication can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate pain relievers to alleviate it. If the child has a high fever, antipyretic drugs should be used appropriately. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there is a condition of eardrum perforation, parents can consider surgical treatment for the child. During treatment, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest time.
