Patient's question:
Female baby, only 9 years old. In the past few days, the child has said that her ears are itchy and painful. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and her ears are buzzing. She also has a slight fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, depending on the symptoms. Local treatment is also possible, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If a child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a high fever, appropriate doses of fever-reducing medication should be used. In more severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If a child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is advisable to go to the hospital for surgery as soon as possible. During this period, ensure the child gets enough rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
