Patient's question:
Boys, who are already 9 years old, have been saying that their ears are itchy and painful for the past few days. In the morning, yellow earwax has been flowing out, and their ears are buzzing slightly, with a touch of low fever. Please ask: How to treat otitis media with yellow earwax in children effectively.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it's otitis media in children, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics can be given to the child, which is quite effective. Ear secretion bacterial culture can be performed, and anti-inflammatory ear drops should be used based on the test results. If the child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child also has high fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment. During treatment, attention should also be paid to providing the child with a light diet and enhancing nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
