Question
Dear team, my daughter, who is just 9 years old, has been experiencing some pain in her ear this week. I’ve noticed that there is occasionally a yellowish liquid coming out, and her ear is buzzing. She also has a slight fever. How can we effectively treat the yellow fluid in a child’s ear with otitis media?
Answer
When treating this condition, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Parents can also use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for regional treatment. If the ear pain is severe, some painkillers can be administered. If the child has fever accompanying the symptoms, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a situation of perforated eardrum, parents may consider surgical treatment for their child. Parents should also pay attention to protecting their child well in everyday life to prevent otitis media from recurring.
