Patient's question:
My little boy is 2 years old. This week, the child said his ear hurts. In the morning, I found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, and at the same time, there was a buzzing sound in his ear, and he had a slightly low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents, under the guidance of a doctor, choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used in conjunction. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medications may be considered. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. If your child has a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to visit the hospital promptly for surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage your child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
