Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. This week, the child told me his ears are a bit sore. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and his appetite was also poor, and his throat felt uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child has otitis media, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be used, or topical medication can be applied. For example, using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the baby. If the child has severe ear pain, it is recommended to give pain-relieving medication based on the situation. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a ruptured eardrum, it is necessary to seek timely hospital treatment for surgical intervention. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet that is light and easy to digest. Additionally, ensure the child gets plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
