Patient's question:
A 3-year-old girl has just started attending kindergarten. Recently, she has been scratching her ears and complaining of itching. Additionally, it has been observed that her earwax is purulent, slightly yellow, and she seems to have poor appetite and low energy. Please ask: How should yellow earwax in pediatric otitis media be treated?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotics. Ear secretion bacterial culture can be performed, and anti-inflammatory ear drops should be used based on the test results. For children with prominent ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be applied. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If your child has a perforated eardrum, immediate surgery is required at the hospital for treatment. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
