Patient's question:
My boy, who is 9 years old, has been telling me that his ears hurt a little recently. I noticed some yellow earwax coming out, along with some low fever. Could you please tell me: How should I treat his otitis media with yellow earwax for better results?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children under the guidance of a doctor, which can alleviate inflammatory symptoms. This can be combined with local treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is advisable to provide pain relief medication based on the situation. If the child also has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought immediately. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child experiences severe conditions, such as a perforated eardrum, prompt medical treatment is necessary. During treatment, it is important to maintain a light diet and focus on consuming liquid foods.
