Patient's question:
Boy, he is already one year old. Recently, the child told me that his ears are a bit painful. I noticed that there is yellow earwax leaking out, and his ears are buzzing, with a slight fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult with a doctor to select appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their child to alleviate inflammation symptoms. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when ear pain is severe, to help relieve discomfort. If the child has a high fever, medication should be administered according to their symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek immediate medical attention at the hospital. If the child experiences a eardrum perforation, prompt medical surgery is advised. While undergoing treatment, it is essential to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to aid in their speedy recovery.
