Patient's question:
Boy, he is already one year old. In recent days, the child said his ears hurt. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and yellowish. Additionally, there was a buzzing sound in his ears, and he had a slight fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow fluid in the ears be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric otitis media primarily focuses on antibiotic medications. Symptomatic medications can be used based on the child's symptoms, which are quite effective. Local medications can also be applied, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. In cases of ear pain, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child also has a high fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication under consideration. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If your child experiences a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to visit the hospital for surgical treatment promptly. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with additional nutritional support, with a diet primarily consisting of light meals. Additionally, adequate rest should be ensured to avoid fatigue.
