Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, in primary school, recently, the child said he had ear pain, noticed that the earwax was a bit thick and yellowish, and the ears were buzzing slightly, with a low fever. Question: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, they can first use some symptomatic antibiotic medication. An ear secretion bacterial culture can be conducted, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used based on the test results. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Otitis media is characterized by recurrent episodes. If there is a case of eardrum perforation, it needs to be treated promptly.，。
