Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, attending elementary school. Recently, the child has been complaining of ear pain. In the morning, it was found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, and seemed to have little appetite and low energy. Question: How to diagnose and treat otitis media with yellow earwax in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately used, and some local treatment methods can be combined, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents can give some pain relievers to alleviate it. If the child has a fever, some fever-reducing drugs can be taken. In severe cases, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child develops a serious condition, such as a perforated eardrum, it requires timely treatment. Finally, it is hoped that parents can pay attention to this disease and take their children to the hospital for medical treatment as soon as possible. Daily, it is also important to pay attention to relevant prevention and health care work.
