Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old. Recently, he told me his ears hurt a little. I noticed there was a lot of yellow earwax, and he said his ears were buzzing. He also has a low fever. I would like to ask: How can I treat my child's otitis media with yellow earwax effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for the treatment of otitis media and can be selected as needed. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can be used in conjunction, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing drugs can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there is a risk of a eardrum perforation, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. Parents should also pay attention to protective measures to prevent recurrent otitis media.
