Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started primary school. Recently, the child has been complaining that their ears are itchy and painful, and there has been a discharge of yellow earwax. Additionally, they have been experiencing headaches and fever. Please ask: How to treat otitis media with yellow earwax in children.Doctor's answer:
When treating, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication should be given based on the child's symptoms. Local medication can also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the baby. In case of ear pain, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital. If there is a possibility of a tympanic membrane perforation, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
