Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 3 years old. In recent days, the child said his ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, there is a lot of yellow earwax, accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How can otitis media with yellow fluid in the ear be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the primary treatment for pediatric otitis media is antibiotics. Symptomatic medications can be used based on the child's symptoms, and the effectiveness is quite good. While taking medication, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be applied. If the child experiences ear pain, pain relievers can be given. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be used. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a ruptured eardrum, surgical treatment in a hospital is necessary. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light and easily digestible foods. Additionally, rest should be emphasized to avoid fatigue.
