Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 5 years old. Recently, the child said her ears hurt, and her earwax was a bit thick and yellow. Additionally, her appetite wasn't good, and her throat felt uncomfortable. Could you please tell me: How should we treat otitis media with yellow fluid in children?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. Local medication can also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the baby. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the condition is accompanied by high fever, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. If your child has a eardrum perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help with early recovery.
