Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 9 years old, recently, the child said her ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, it was found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, accompanied by a headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. Parents can use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment on their children. Depending on the child's condition, pain relievers can also be given, especially when ear pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. If the condition is accompanied by high fever, medications should be used according to the child's symptoms. In severe cases, it is crucial to seek medical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to visit the hospital for surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
