Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 5 years old. Recently, he told me his ears hurt a little. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and his ears were buzzing. He also had a slightly low fever.：How should I treat my child's otitis media with yellow earwax?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be used. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child's ear pain is severe, mild analgesics can be used in moderation. Some children may also have a fever at this time, and some antipyretic drugs can be given orally. If the condition cannot be, it is essential to seek medical attention. The above methods are currently the most commonly used treatments for otitis media. Additionally, if there is a case of eardrum perforation, timely surgical treatment is required. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest time.
