Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 7 years old. Recently, she said her ears hurt. I noticed there was a lot of yellow earwax. At the same time, she seems to have no appetite and feels very weak. I'm asking: How is it best to treat otitis media with yellow fluid in a child's ear?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on the symptoms. Parents can use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for their children. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to seek surgical treatment at the hospital in a timely manner. Parents should also pay attention to proper preventive measures to avoid the recurrence of otitis media.
