Patient's question:
My little girl is 6 years old. Recently, the child has been complaining of ear pain, and it was found that the earwax is purulent, slightly yellow, accompanied by headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatment can be combined, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with prominent ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a high fever, appropriate fever-reducing medication should be used. If the condition is serious, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the patient develops severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, it is essential to visit the hospital for surgical treatment promptly. Parents should also pay attention to proper protection for the child to prevent recurrent otitis media.
