Patient's question:
My little girl is 4 years old. These days, the child said her ears hurt, and I noticed that the earwax was purulent, slightly yellow, accompanied by a headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow fluid in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents can appropriately give some pain-relieving medication to alleviate it. If the child has a fever, parents can give the child some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it should be treated by a doctor as soon as possible. If the child develops a perforated eardrum, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgery as soon as possible. Parents should also pay attention to taking protective measures for the child to prevent the middle ear from recurring inflammation.
