Patient's question:
Boy, already 7 years old, this week, the child has been scratching his ears and says they are itchy. Upon observation, it was found that the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow, accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: how should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated in children better?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it's otitis media in children, can be given some antibiotics to the child, which is quite effective. Local drug treatment can be used, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used for treatment. For children with significant ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be applied. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. In addition to the above drug treatment methods, if the child shows severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, timely treatment is necessary. While being treated, it's also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplements to help them recover as soon as possible.
