How to diagnose and treat children's otitis media with yellow earwax

Patient's question:

My little girl, who is 8 years old this year, has been complaining of ear pain this week. In the mornings, there is occasionally yellow liquid leaking out, accompanied by headaches and fever. Question: How should I treat her otitis media with yellow earwax?

Doctor's answer:

You can appropriately use some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs. Local medication treatment can be chosen, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with significant ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgery. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early medical treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
