Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, has started primary school. Recently, the child told me that his ears hurt a bit. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and yellowish. Additionally, he has a headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
For 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, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has a fever, parents can give them some fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. If the child develops a perforated eardrum, it is recommended to seek surgical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as quickly as possible.
