Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 6 years old. Recently, the child told me that her ears hurt a little. I noticed that there is a lot of yellow earwax. Additionally, her appetite is not good, and her throat is uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can select some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. You can also perform a bacterial culture of ear. Based on the test results, use anti-inflammatory ear drops. If a child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use pain-relieving medication to alleviate symptoms. If the child has high fever, use fever-reducing medication in moderation. If the condition is severe, seek medical attention immediately. If your child develops a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to visit the hospital promptly for surgical treatment. During treatment, ensure the child follows a light diet, strengthens nutritional intake, and supports early recovery.
