Patient's question:
My son, who is 8 years old, recently told me that his ears hurt a bit. I noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellow, and he also has some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow fluid in a child be treated better?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is otitis media in children, symptomatic treatment with some antibiotics can be given to the child, which is quite effective. Parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has a high fever, some fever-reducing medication should be used in moderation. If the condition is serious, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take the child to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
