Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 9 years old, these days, the child has been scratching her ears, saying they are itchy. In the morning, it was found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, and accompanied by a headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow fluid in the ear be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it's pediatric otitis media, medication such as antibiotics can be given to the child, which is quite effective. Ear secretion bacterial culture can be performed, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used based on the test results. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge symptoms are severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve symptoms. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing drugs can be taken. In case of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. Pay attention to a light diet during the day, and a liquid diet should be the main focus during treatment.
