Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, has started primary school. Recently, the child has complained that their ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, the earwax is a bit thick and yellow. At the same time, their appetite is poor, and their throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: If the child has otitis media with yellow earwax, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. You can also have a bacterial culture of ear secretions, and use anti-inflammatory ear drops according to the test results. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to give some pain-relieving medication based on the situation. If the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the patient experiences severe symptoms, such as a tympanic membrane perforation, immediate medical treatment, including surgery, may be necessary. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take the child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
