Patient's question:
My daughter, who is 8 years old, has been complaining of ear pain this week. In the morning, I noticed that her earwax was purulent, slightly yellow, and she also had a low fever. I would like to ask: What is the most effective treatment for otitis media with yellow fluid in children's ears?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, anti-inflammatory drugs can be used to treat symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. In cases of ear pain, pain relief medication can also be given to the child. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a possibility of a eardrum perforation, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. Parents should also pay attention to protecting their children to prevent recurrent otitis media.
