Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. Recently, the child has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. Additionally, his earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, accompanied by some low fever. Question: How to treat yellow earwax in children with otitis media?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric otitis media, can be given to the child some antibiotics, which is relatively effective. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge symptoms are severe, it is recommended to use some pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If there is a high fever accompanied by symptoms, medication should be used based on the child's condition. In severe cases, please go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. Otitis media has the characteristic of recurring, and if there is a perforation of the eardrum, it is necessary to seek timely treatment. During the treatment period, it is mainly necessary to keep the child warm and avoid getting cold to worsen the symptoms.
