Patient's question:
My male baby is 4 years old. Recently, the child has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, there is occasionally a yellowish fluid discharge. At the same time, his appetite is poor and his throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptom-relieving antibiotics. Parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If there is a condition of eardrum perforation, surgical treatment for the child can be considered. During treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
