Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, attending elementary school. Recently, the child has said he has ear pain, along with yellow earwax discharge, accompanied by headache and fever.：How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated effectively in children.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating otitis media and can be selected as appropriate. They can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with significant ear pain, pain-relieving medication may be used. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing drugs can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a possibility of a tympanic membrane perforation, parents may consider surgical treatment for their child. During treatment, it is advisable to maintain a light diet and focus on liquid foods.
