Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old. This week, the child told me her ears are a bit painful. Also, it was found that the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How can otitis media with yellow fluid in the ear be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, one can choose anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. Parents can use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. For children with severe ear pain, pain-relieving medications can be administered. If the child has high fever, it is advisable to use fever-reducing drugs in appropriate amounts. In cases of severity, prompt medical attention is necessary. If there are multiple acute episodes or if eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical intervention should be performed in a timely manner. While undergoing treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
