Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 1 year old. Lately, the child told me his ears are a bit painful. I noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, and at the same time, his ears are buzzing, and he has a slightly low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow fluid discharge in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the primary treatment for pediatric otitis media involves the use of antibiotic medications. Symptomatic drugs can be administered based on the child's symptoms, and the effectiveness is quite good. Local treatments can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. For children with pronounced ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be applied. If the child has a high fever, appropriate fever-reducing medication should be used in moderation. In severe cases, prompt medical attention is necessary. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media. Additionally, if a tympanic membrane perforation occurs, it requires timely surgical treatment. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
