Patient's question:
My little girl is 5 years old this year. This week, the child said her ears hurt, and her earwax was a bit thick and yellowish. Additionally, there was a buzzing sound in her ears, and she had a low fever. Could you please advise on how to treat her 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 medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child's ear pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can also be used in moderation. If the child has a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if an eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. During this time, ensure the child gets adequate rest and eats more vegetables and fruits.
