Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, has started elementary school. This week, the child has had some ear pain. In the morning, it was found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, and accompanied by some low-grade fever. Please ask: How can otitis media with yellow earwax be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric otitis media first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local treatment can also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear hurts more, pain relief medication can be given appropriately. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgery as soon as possible. During the treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest time.
