Patient's question:
My little girl, she is 4 years old. Recently, she has been saying her ears hurt. In the morning, there was yellow earwax discharge. Additionally, she has a headache and fever. I would like to know: How should pediatric otitis media with yellow fluid be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
The treatment for pediatric otitis media can use symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. When the child's ear pain is severe, a small amount of pain-relieving medication can be used appropriately. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used cautiously. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
