Patient's question:

Girl baby, only 9 years old, this week, the child said her ears hurt. Upon observation, the earwax was a bit thick and yellowish. At the same time, it seemed like she had no appetite and felt very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow fluid in the ear be treated in children?

Doctor's answer:

Treatment for pediatric otitis media can involve symptomatic medication based on the child's symptoms. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be applied, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. In cases of ear pain, children can be given pain relievers. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if an eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical intervention should be performed in a timely manner. Finally, parents are advised to take this condition seriously, bring their children for medical treatment early, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures.
