Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old. Recently, the child has said her ears are itchy and painful. She noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, and her ears are buzzing slightly. She also has a low fever. She asks: If a child has otitis media with yellow fluid in the ears, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric otitis media can involve the use of symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms. In addition to systemic medications, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child's ear pain is severe, a small amount of pain-relieving medication can be used. Additionally, if the child has a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is advisable to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. Finally, parents are encouraged to take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children early, and pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures.
