Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 2 years old, these days, the child has been scratching her ears and saying they are itchy. In the morning, I found the earwax to be purulent and slightly yellow. Additionally, there is some low fever. Please ask: How should a child with otitis media and yellow fluid in the ears be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, anti-inflammatory drugs can be used for symptomatic treatment. While taking medication, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be applied. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate painkillers can be given. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if a tympanic membrane perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. Maintain a light diet and focus on liquid food during treatment.
