Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old. Recently, he has been complaining that his ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, there was yellow earwax discharge, and it seems like he has no appetite and feels very weak. Please advise: How should otitis media with yellow earwax in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs should be given based on the child's symptoms. Local medication can be used, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be selected. If the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relief medication should be provided. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used cautiously. If the condition is serious, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child develops a eardrum perforation, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. Lastly, parents should take this condition seriously, seek medical treatment for their child as early as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures.
