Patient's question:
My son is 2 years old. This week, the child has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, there is occasionally a yellowish liquid discharge. Additionally, he seems to have no appetite and is very weak. Please advise: How should we treat his otitis media with yellow earwax?Doctor's answer:
You can appropriately use some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications, and you can also combine them with local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. In cases of ear pain, you can give the child some pain relievers. If the child also has a high fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the patient develops severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, immediate hospital treatment is required for surgical intervention. Pay attention to a light diet in daily life, and during treatment, a liquid diet should be primarily consumed.
