Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 years old. In the past few days, the child has had some ear pain. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax. At the same time, his appetite was poor and his throat felt uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow fluid in the ear be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents, under the guidance of a doctor, choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, mild analgesics can be given appropriately. If the child has a high fever, some fever-reducing medications should be used in moderation. If the condition is severe, medical attention should be sought immediately. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if a eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. After the condition improves, it is advisable to engage in appropriate exercise with the child to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
