Patient's question:
My boy, who is 6 years old, has been experiencing some ear pain recently. Additionally, there is yellow earwax discharge, and he's also hearing a buzzing sound in his ear. He also has a slightly low fever. Please advise: How should I treat otitis media with yellow fluid in the child's ear?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, you can give children some symptomatic antibiotic medications, or use local treatments. For example, you can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for the baby. If the child's ear pain is severe, you can also give some pain-relieving medication as needed. If the child has a high fever, antipyretic drugs should be used cautiously. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication methods, if the child's condition worsens and an eardrum perforation occurs, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
