Patient's question:
My child is a male baby, 4 years old. Recently, he has been scratching his ears and saying they itch. Additionally, the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, and there's a buzzing sound in his ears. He also has a slight fever.Could you please advise on how to treat otitis media with yellow fluid in children?
Doctor's answer:
If the child gets otitis media, you can first use some symptomatic antibiotic drugs. If the child's condition is severe, you can also use some local treatments, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. In case of ear pain, you can give the child some pain relievers. If the child has a fever, parents can give them some fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child's condition is severe and results in a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent the recurrence of the illness.
