Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 4 years old. This week, the child has been scratching his ears and saying they itch. Upon observation, yellow earwax has been noticed coming out, and at the same time, there is a buzzing sensation in the ears, with slightly low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be used appropriately, or local medication can be applied, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for babies. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, analgesic medications can be considered. Additionally, if there is a fever, fever-reducing drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Otitis media tends to recur, so if there is a eardrum perforation, it needs to be treated promptly. Finally, parents should pay attention to this condition and take their children to the doctor for early treatment..
