Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. Recently, he has been experiencing some ear pain, and I noticed that occasionally there is a bit of yellow fluid leaking out. Additionally, it seems he has no appetite and feels very weak. I would like to ask: How is it best to treat otitis media with yellow earwax in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it's childhood otitis media, medication such as antibiotics can be given to the child, which is quite effective. Local drug treatment can be chosen, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain, it is recommended to give some pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has a fever, parents can give fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child's condition is severe and there is a tympanic membrane perforation, hospital surgery is required. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
