Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 5 years old, this week, the child has been scratching her ears and saying they itch. In the morning, there is occasionally yellow liquid flowing out, and her ears are buzzing, with a slight fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. If the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child has a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgery as soon as possible. Parents should also pay attention to taking protective measures to prevent recurring otitis media.
