Patient's question:
A 3-year-old girl just started kindergarten. In recent days, her ears have been a bit painful, and she has a lot of yellow earwax. Additionally, she has a low fever. Please ask: How should it be treated if the child has otitis media with yellow earwax?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be used, or local medication can be applied, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the symptoms of ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has a high fever, appropriate doses of fever-reducing medication should be used. If the condition is serious, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above methods are commonly used for the treatment of otitis media currently. Additionally, if there is a perforation of the eardrum, it is necessary to undergo timely surgical treatment. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
