Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 3 years old. This week, the child told me his ears are a bit sore. In the morning, I noticed the earwax was purulent, slightly yellow. Additionally, it seems he has no appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How should we treat the yellow earwax of otitis media in children?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications should be administered based on the child's symptoms. Local medication can also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the child. If the child's ear pain is particularly severe, it is recommended to provide pain relief medication based on the situation. If the child has a high fever, it is advisable to use fever-reducing medications in moderation. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child exhibits symptoms of a perforated eardrum, immediate medical treatment, including surgery, is necessary. While undergoing treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional supplementation to help them recover more quickly.
