How to treat otitis media with yellow fluid in children

Patient's question:

Baby girl, only 2 years old. Recently, the child told me that her ears hurt a bit. Also, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and her ears are buzzing. She has a slightly low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow fluid in the child's ear be treated?

Doctor's answer:

If a child has otitis media, anti-inflammatory drugs can be used for symptomatic treatment, and some local treatment methods can also be combined, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to give pain relief medication based on the situation. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used according to the child's symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. If there is a case of a perforated eardrum, parents can consider surgical treatment for the child. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to catching a cold.
