Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 4 years old. In the past few days, the child told me his ears hurt a little. He noticed that occasionally there was also yellow fluid leaking out, and it was accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax in children be treated?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. Parents can use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. For children with significant ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If the symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. If there is a case of a perforated eardrum, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. Finally, we hope parents can take this disease seriously, take the child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to doing well in related prevention and health care work in daily life.
