Patient's question:
My son, who is 2 years old, has been complaining of ear pain recently. In the morning, there was yellow earwax discharge, accompanied by some low-grade fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric otitis media, give the child some antibiotics, which are relatively effective. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with significant ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest.
