Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 6 years old. Recently, her ears have been a bit painful. I noticed that there's a lot of yellow earwax, and she also has some low-grade fever. Could you please tell me how to treat otitis media with yellow fluid in children?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, and you can also undergo local treatment, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for children. If the child has ear pain, they can also be given pain relievers. If the child also has a high fever, they can take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child experiences severe conditions, such as a tympanic membrane perforation, immediate medical treatment is necessary. Parents should also take precautions to prevent recurrent otitis media.
