Patient's question:
My daughter, who is 5 years old, has been telling me that her ears are a bit painful these days. I noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellow, and she also has some low-grade fever. I would like to ask: How should pediatric otitis media with yellow fluid in the ear be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, you can first use some symptomatic antibiotics. Local drug treatment can be chosen, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to give painkillers based on the situation. If the child also has a high fever, you can take antipyretics as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If your child has a problem with a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgery in a timely manner. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
