Patient's question:
Boys, already 8 years old, recently, the child told me that his ears are a bit painful. In the morning, yellow earwax was coming out, while his appetite was not good, and his throat was uncomfortable. Please ask: How can otitis media with yellow earwax be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to alleviate inflammation symptoms. Parents can use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be administered, or they should be taken to the hospital immediately. If your child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to seek surgical treatment at the hospital promptly. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet consisting mainly of light foods, and to ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
