Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. Recently, the child said his ears are itchy and painful. Upon observation, 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 children?Doctor's answer:
The treatment for pediatric otitis media can involve using symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms, as well as local treatments such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the child. For children with pronounced ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child experiences severe conditions, such as a tympanic membrane perforation, immediate medical treatment is necessary. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
