Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 years old. In recent days, the child has said that his ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, the earwax is a bit thick and slightly yellow, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How can otitis media with yellow fluid in the child's ear be treated effectively.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used in the treatment of otitis media and can be selected as needed. Local medication can also be used, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for babies. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, consider giving pain-relieving medication. If the child has a fever, parents can give fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is recommended to seek surgical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and a liquid diet should be the main focus during treatment.
