Patient's question:
Baby girl, currently 3 years old. In recent days, her ears have been a bit painful. Upon checking, it was found that the earwax was purulent, slightly yellow. Additionally, she seems to have little appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be 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 according to symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child has ear pain, pain relievers can be given. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media at present. Additionally, if there is a case of eardrum perforation, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. Parents should also pay attention to preventive measures to avoid recurrence of otitis media.
