Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 3 years old, recently, the child said her ears hurt. Additionally, her earwax is a bit thick and yellow, and her appetite is also poor, with a sore throat. Please ask: What is the appropriate treatment for yellow earwax with otitis media in children?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs should be administered based on the child's symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, a small amount of pain-relieving medication can be used appropriately. Some children may also have a fever at the same time, in which case oral antipyretic medication can be given. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is essential to seek medical attention. In cases of a tympanic membrane perforation, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. Parents should also pay attention to taking preventive measures to avoid recurrent otitis media.
