Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 6 years old. In recent days, the child's ears have been a bit painful. In the morning, it was found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, and his appetite was also poor, and his throat felt uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated in children.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, you can first use some symptomatic antibiotic medications. While taking the medication, you can also perform some local treatments, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge symptoms are severe, it is recommended to use some pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, please go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. Otitis media is a condition that tends to recur. If there is a eardrum perforation, it is necessary to seek medical treatment promptly. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost the immune system and prevent recurrence.
