Patient's question:
My daughter is 9 years old. Recently, she told me that her ears are a bit sore. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and slightly yellow, accompanied by some low fever. Could you please advise on how to treat otitis media with yellow earwax in children?Doctor's answer:
If the child has otitis media, they can first use some symptomatic antibiotic medication, which can be supplemented with some local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child's ear pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can also be used in moderation. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child's condition is severe and results in a eardrum perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment. Finally, we hope parents can take this disease seriously, take the child to the hospital for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures during daily life.
