Patient's question:
Boys, who are already 6 years old, have been scratching their ears lately, saying they are itchy. Additionally, the earwax is a bit thick and slightly yellow. Also, there is a buzzing sound in their ears, and they have a low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated in children for optimal results?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic medications are commonly used for treating otitis media and can be chosen as appropriate. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be administered using anti-inflammatory ear drops. Painkillers can be given to children if they experience ear pain. If the child has a high fever, it is recommended to use fever-reducing medications in moderation. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media tends to recur, and if there is a perforation of the eardrum, timely treatment is required. Lastly, we hope parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
