Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 years old, these past few days, the child told me his ears are a bit painful, in the morning, yellow earwax was flowing out, and the ears were buzzing, a bit of low fever, please ask: what treatment should be given for otitis media with yellow earwax in the child?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to alleviate inflammation symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used in conjunction. If the child experiences severe ear pain, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. In addition to these medications and treatment methods, if the child experiences serious conditions such as a perforated eardrum, prompt medical treatment is required. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is recommended.
