Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. This week, the child has been scratching her ears and saying they itch. Upon observation, the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, and she also has a headache and fever. Please ask: If the child has otitis media with yellow earwax, how can it be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric otitis media first, parents can give their children some anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can also use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. When the child's earache is severe, they can also take appropriate amounts of pain-relieving medication. If the child has a high fever, they should take fever-reducing medication in moderation. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication and treatment methods, if the child experiences severe conditions such as a ruptured eardrum, prompt medical treatment is required. While being treated, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
