Patient's question:
Boy, already 5 years old. This week, the child said his ears hurt. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax. Additionally, some low-grade fever was present. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated in children?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. While taking medication, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be administered. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If there is a condition of a perforated eardrum, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and focus on liquid food during the treatment period.
