Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 3 years old this year, has been scratching her ears all week, saying they itch. In the morning, there is occasionally a yellow liquid leaking out. At the same time, she seems to have no appetite and feels very weak. Could you please advise on how to treat otitis media with yellow earwax in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used in clinical treatment for pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose based on symptoms, and can also combine some local treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's primary symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents provide appropriate pain relievers to alleviate it. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medications should be used cautiously. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is important to go to the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
