Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 2 years old. Recently, the child said her ears hurt. I noticed there was a lot of yellow earwax. Additionally, she has a headache and fever. I'd like to ask: How should you treat otitis media with yellow fluid discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating otitis media and can be selected as needed. Local drug treatment is also available, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents can give appropriate pain relievers to alleviate it. If the child has a high fever, it is necessary to use some fever-reducing medication in moderation. If the condition is severe, immediate medical attention should be sought. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if an eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
