Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 1 year old. In recent days, the child told me her ears are a bit painful. Additionally, I noticed the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow, and it seems she has no appetite and is also weak. I would like to ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
It is appropriate to use some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs. While taking medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, mild pain-relieving medication can be used in moderation. If the child also has high fever, it is necessary to use fever-reducing medication in moderation. If the condition is serious, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, prompt medical treatment in a hospital is required. Lastly, parents should pay attention to this condition and bring their child to the doctor for early treatment. Additionally, proper prevention and health care measures should be taken on a regular basis.
