Patient's question:
A 3-year-old girl has just started kindergarten. Recently, the child told me her ears are a bit painful. In the morning, some yellow earwax was discharged. At the same time, her appetite is not good, and her throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How can otitis media with yellow earwax be effectively treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used in the treatment of otitis media and can be selected as appropriate. Local drug treatment is also available, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If a child has severe ear pain, it is recommended to administer pain relievers based on the situation. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used according to the child's symptoms. In severe cases, please seek medical treatment at a hospital as soon as possible. In addition to the above drug treatment methods, if a child exhibits severe conditions, such as a ruptured eardrum, immediate treatment is required. Parents should also pay attention to protective measures to prevent the recurrence of otitis media.
