Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 5 years old, this week, the child said her ears feel itchy and painful. In the morning, yellow earwax came out, and her appetite is not good either. Her throat also feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow fluid in the ear be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
First, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication for treating otitis media. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers should be given. If the child has a high fever, some fever-reducing medication should be used in moderation. If the condition is severe, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In cases of a tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment for the child may be considered. While undergoing treatment, parents should also ensure the child follows a light diet, strengthens nutritional intake, and promotes early recovery.
