Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 2 years old. Recently, the child said his ears hurt. In the morning, occasionally there was also yellow fluid leaking out, and at the same time, there was a buzzing sound in his ears, and a slight fever. Please ask: How should the treatment be for the child's otitis media with yellow earwax?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. Parents can use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment for their children. For children with significant ear pain, pain-relieving medications can be applied. Additionally, if a fever is present, some fever-reducing drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are currently the most commonly used for treating otitis media. Furthermore, if there is a case of eardrum perforation, timely surgical treatment is required. Parents should also pay attention to proper protection for their children to prevent recurrent otitis media.
