Patient's question:
My daughter is 6 years old. This week, she has been scratching her ears and complaining of itching. Upon observation, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and she also has a headache and fever. Please advise: How can otitis media with yellow earwax be effectively treated 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. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a symptom of a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to seek hospital treatment promptly. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and a liquid diet should be maintained during the treatment period.
