Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 1 year old, has been complaining of ear pain this week. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and she also said her ears were buzzing. She has a slightly low-grade fever. I would like to know: if a child has otitis media with yellow fluid in the ears, what is the best way to treat it.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs should be administered based on the child's symptoms. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops, and pain-relieving medication can be applied for children with severe ear pain. If the child has a high fever, appropriate doses of fever-reducing medication should be used. If the condition is severe, immediate medical attention is necessary. If the child experiences multiple acute episodes or has developed a eardrum perforation, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. Lastly, parents should take this disease seriously, bring their children for early medical treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
