Patient's question:
Little girl, currently 3 years old. Recently, her ears have been a bit painful. Additionally, she has a lot of yellow earwax, and there is a buzzing sound in her ears. She also has a low fever. Please ask: How should acute otitis media with yellow earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, they can first use some antibiotics that match the symptoms. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. When the child's ear pain is severe, they can also be given appropriate doses of pain relievers. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If the symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if an eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
