Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. Recently, he told me his ears are a bit painful. I noticed that sometimes there is yellow fluid leaking out, and he seems to have no appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow fluid be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is otitis media in children, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to administer pain relief medication based on the situation. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if an eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and daily routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
