Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, who is in primary school. Lately, the child has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax in his ears, and it seems that he has no appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How to diagnose and treat otitis media with yellow fluid in children's ears.Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child also has a high fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication if appropriate. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to visit the hospital for surgical treatment. Maintain a light diet during daily life, and primarily consume liquid foods during the treatment period.
