Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 years old. This week, the child has been scratching his ears and says they itch. Additionally, there is occasionally a yellowish fluid discharge, and it seems he has no appetite and is also very weak. Please ask: How to diagnose and treat otitis media with yellow earwax in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric otitis media first, parents can give their children some anti-inflammatory medications. Local treatment can be used, such as choosing anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relief medication can be given. If the child has high fever, some fever-reducing medication should be used in moderation. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child experiences severe conditions, such as a perforated eardrum, immediate treatment is necessary. While being treated, attention should also be paid to arranging a light diet for the child and enhancing nutritional supplementation to help achieve early recovery.
