Patient's question:
My child is a male baby, 4 years old. This week, the child told me that his ears are a little sore, and there is also yellow earwax discharge. Additionally, there is a buzzing sound in his ears, and he has a slight fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be used. Local medication can be applied, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge symptoms are severe, it is recommended to use analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has a high fever, antipyretic drugs should be used appropriately. If it is severe, prompt medical attention is necessary. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child exhibits symptoms of a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to promptly seek medical treatment and undergo surgery. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest.
