Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 4 years old. In recent days, the child said his ears hurt. Upon observation, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and it seemed he had little appetite and was very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the current methods and medications used in clinical treatment for pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. Ear secretion bacterial culture can be performed, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used according to the test results. If the child primarily exhibits ear pain, it is recommended that parents provide appropriate pain relief medication. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a perforated eardrum, surgical treatment in a hospital is necessary. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their child to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to related prevention and health care measures in daily life.
