Children with otitis media with yellow fluid, how should it be treated?

Patient's question:

My child is a boy, 2 years old. Recently, he said his ears hurt. Also, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and he seems to have little appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: If a child has otitis media with yellow fluid in the ear, how should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Local drug treatment can be used, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be applied. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate analgesics to relieve the pain. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In severe cases, it is necessary to seek medical treatment promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to visit the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. Finally, it is hoped that parents can pay attention to this disease and take the child to the doctor for treatment as soon as possible. Also, it is important to pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures during daily life.
