Question
My daughter is 5 years old and has been experiencing some ear pain recently. The earwax is abnormal and yellowish, accompanied by a slight fever. How should children with otitis media and yellow ear fluid be treated?
Answer
For children with pediatric otitis media, appropriate anti-inflammatory medications can be used based on the symptoms, along with bacterial culture of ear secretions and anti-inflammatory ear drops according to the test results. If the child complains of ear pain, it is recommended to give a moderate amount of pain relief medication. If there is a fever, parents can give fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If symptoms such as perforation of the eardrum occur, immediate hospital treatment and surgery may be necessary. It is advised that parents take this disease seriously, bring their child for early medical treatment, and also pay attention to relevant preventive and health care measures in daily life.
