Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. Recently, he has had some ear pain. In the morning, I noticed that the earwax was purulent, slightly yellow, and he also had poor appetite and a sore throat. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be effectively treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be used. For children with significant ear pain, analgesic medications can be applied. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing drugs should be used appropriately. In severe cases, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If your child develops a perforated eardrum, it is essential to go to the hospital for surgical treatment. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest time.
