Patient's question:
Boy, already 5 years old. Recently, the child told me his ear hurts a little. He noticed that there is some yellow earwax coming out, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow fluid in the ear be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media, antibiotics are primarily used. Symptomatic medications can be administered based on the child's symptoms, which are quite effective. Local treatment can be applied, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child also has a high fever, medications should be used based on their symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to promptly undergo surgical treatment at the hospital. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help promote early recovery from the illness.
