Patient's question:
A 3-year-old girl has just started kindergarten. This week, she has been scratching her ears and complaining of itching. Upon observation, there is thick and slightly yellow earwax, poor appetite, and a sore throat. Question: If a child has otitis media with yellow fluid in the ear, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose appropriate anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. Local treatment can be administered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If your child's ear pain is severe, you can also give them pain relievers as needed. If your child has a fever, you can take fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, seek medical attention promptly. If your child experiences eardrum perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgery as soon as possible. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and focus on liquid foods during the treatment period.
