Patient's question:
Boy, already 8 years old, recently, the child said that his ears are itchy and painful. It was noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish. Additionally, there is some low-grade fever. Please ask: How is it best to treat otitis media with yellow fluid in a child's ear?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, it is advisable to use some pain-relieving medication to alleviate the symptoms. If the child also has a high fever, antipyretic drugs should be used appropriately. If the condition is severe, prompt medical attention is necessary. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child's condition is severe and results in a tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment in a hospital is required. It is important to maintain a light diet during daily life, and a liquid diet should be primarily followed during the treatment period.
