Patient's question:
Girl baby, 3 years old, just started kindergarten. Recently, the child said her ears hurt. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and her appetite was also poor, and her throat felt uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it's pediatric otitis media, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate analgesics to alleviate the pain. If the child has a fever, you can give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is advised to seek surgical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and focus on liquid food during the treatment period.
