Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. This week, the child has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. Additionally, there is yellow earwax discharge, accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To treat pediatric otitis media, parents can first give their child some anti-inflammatory medications. Local treatment can be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with significant ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be administered. If the child has a high fever, appropriate doses of fever-reducing medication should be used. In severe cases, prompt medical attention is necessary. If there is a case of eardrum perforation, parents may consider surgical treatment for their child. Additionally, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the condition recover as quickly as possible.
