Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 years old. This week, the child said his ears hurt. Also, it was found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How is it better to treat yellow earwax in children with otitis media?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is otitis media in children, symptomatic treatment with some antibiotics can be given to the child, which is relatively effective. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child's ear pain is severe, a small amount of pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child also has a high fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken as appropriate. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child shows severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, immediate treatment is required. During the treatment period, attention must also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest time.
