Patient's question:
Female baby, only 4 years old. Lately, her ears have been a bit painful. Additionally, there is yellow earwax discharge, and she seems to have no appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated effectively for children?Doctor's answer:
If the child gets otitis media, first, you can use some symptomatic antibiotic medications. You can also combine some local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. In case of ear pain, you can give the child some pain relievers. If the child has a fever, parents can give them some fever-reducing medication. If the condition is severe, medical attention should be sought promptly. In addition to these medication methods, if the child's condition is severe and results in a tympanic membrane perforation, hospitalization for surgical treatment is necessary. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
