Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 2 years old. Recently, the child said his ear hurts. In the morning, yellow earwax was discharged, accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it's otitis media in children, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics can be given, which is quite effective. Parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. In cases of ear pain, analgesics can also be given to children. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it's still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods, but if a child develops symptoms of a tympanic membrane perforation, medical treatment in a hospital is necessary. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest.
