Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 4 years old. Recently, his ears have been a bit painful. He noticed that occasionally there is also yellowish fluid leaking out. Moreover, his appetite is not good, and his throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating otitis media and can be selected as appropriate. Local medication can also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to children. If a child has severe ear pain with yellow discharge, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. These methods are commonly used for treating otitis media currently. Additionally, if there is a case of eardrum perforation, timely surgical treatment is required. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help with early recovery from the illness.
