Patient's question:
My little girl is 2 years old this year. This week, the child said she has ear pain. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and she also has some low-grade fever. Please advise: How should we diagnose and treat otitis media with yellow earwax?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local treatment methods can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. In cases of ear pain, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child's condition is severe and involves a ruptured eardrum, surgery is required at the hospital. Parents should also pay attention to preventive measures to avoid the recurrence of otitis media.
