Patient's question:
Female baby, only 6 years old, these days, the child told me her ears are a little sore, in the morning, there was yellow earwax discharge, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated in children.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it's otitis media in children, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics can be given, which is relatively effective. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. In cases of ear pain, children can be given pain relief medication. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is essential to seek medical attention.In addition to these pharmaceutical treatments, if the child's condition is severe and results in a perforated eardrum, surgery is required at the hospital for treatment. During the treatment period, it is crucial to ensure the child is well-rested and warm to prevent further exacerbation of symptoms due to catching a cold.
