Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 6 years old. Recently, his ears have been a bit painful. In the morning, it was found that the earwax was purulent, slightly yellow, and his appetite was also not good, and his throat felt uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated in children.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, first, you can use some symptomatic antibiotic medications. While taking the medication, you can also perform some local treatments, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's symptoms are severe, with ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use some pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child also has a high fever, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical treatment from a hospital as soon as possible. Otitis media is a condition that can recur repeatedly. If there is a case of eardrum perforation, it is necessary to seek medical treatment promptly. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
