Child with otitis media and yellow earwax, how should it be treated?

Patient's question:

My child is a boy, 4 years old. Recently, he said his ears hurt. I noticed that he has a lot of yellow earwax, and at the same time, his appetite is not good, and his throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: What should be done to treat his otitis media with yellow earwax?

Doctor's answer:

To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. You can also combine it with local treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to give pain relief medication based on the situation. If the child has high fever, appropriate doses of fever-reducing medication should be used. In severe cases, prompt medical attention is necessary.
In addition to the above medication treatments, if the child shows severe symptoms, such as a ruptured eardrum, immediate medical treatment is required. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focused on light meals. Rest should also be emphasized to avoid fatigue.
