Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old. This week, the child has been scratching her ears and saying they itch. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and slightly yellow, and there was a buzzing sensation in her ears. She also has a slight fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated in children for effective relief?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them according to symptoms. Local treatments can also be administered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relief medication can be given. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If your child experiences a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to visit the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. Pay attention to a light diet and primarily consume liquid foods during the treatment period.
