Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 6 years old this year, has been saying that her ears are itchy and painful lately. I noticed that there is a lot of yellow earwax in her ears. Additionally, her appetite is poor, and her throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How to treat otitis media with yellow fluid in children.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be used appropriately. Ear secretion bacterial culture can be performed, and anti-inflammatory ear drops should be used based on the test results. If the child primarily presents with ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention.In addition to these drug treatments, if the child's condition becomes severe, such as a ruptured eardrum, prompt medical treatment is necessary. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to aid in early recovery.
