Patient's question:
My little girl, she is 7 years old. This week, the child said her ears hurt. Also, the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, and there's a buzzing sensation in her ears. She also has a low fever. Could you please advise on how to treat otitis media with yellow earwax in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops, and pain relievers can also be given to the child if they have ear pain. Some children may also have a fever at this time, and in such cases, oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If this does not alleviate the symptoms, it is essential to seek medical attention. If the child develops a ruptured eardrum, it is advised to go to the hospital as soon as possible for surgical treatment. Parents should also pay attention to protective measures for the child to prevent middle ear from recurring.
