Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 3 years old. This week, the child told me his ears are a bit painful. Also, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and it's buzzing in his ears. He has a slightly low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric otitis media can involve symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be used in moderation. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used appropriately. If the condition is severe, prompt medical attention is necessary. Otitis media is characterized by recurrent episodes. If there is a tympanic membrane perforation, timely treatment is required. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
