Patient's question:
A 3-year-old girl has just started kindergarten. This week, her ears have been a bit sore, and it was discovered that her earwax is purulent, slightly yellow, accompanied by a headache and fever. Please ask: How to treat otitis media in children with yellow fluid in the ears.Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications should be given based on the child's symptoms. Parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment, or provide pain relievers according to the child's condition, especially when ear pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child also has a high fever, antipyretic medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if a eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
