Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. Recently, he told me that his ears hurt a bit, and there was yellow earwax coming out. Also, his ears were buzzing, and he had a slightly low fever. I'd like to ask: If a child has otitis media with yellow fluid in the ears, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric otitis media first, parents can give their children some anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can also use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If there is ear pain, pain relievers can be given to the child as well. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media currently. Additionally, if there is a perforation of the eardrum, it requires timely surgical treatment. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously and bring their children to the hospital for early medical treatment.。
