Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 1 year old this year. Recently, she's been scratching her ears and complaining of itching. Also, her earwax is a bit thick and yellowish. Additionally, she has a headache and a fever. I'm asking: What treatment is most effective for otitis media with yellow earwax in children?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs should be administered based on the child's symptoms. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, a small amount of pain-relieving medication can also be used. If the child has a high fever, antipyretics should be used accordingly. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for the treatment of otitis media at present. Additionally, if there is a perforation of the eardrum, timely surgical treatment is required. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
