Patient's question:
Boy, already 2 years old, recently, the child has been scratching his ears and saying they itch. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How to treat yellow earwax for otitis media in children.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic medications are commonly used for treating otitis media and can be selected as needed. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is significant, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Additionally, if the child has a fever, antipyretic medications can be administered. For high fevers, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a ruptured eardrum, surgical treatment in a hospital is necessary. During the treatment period, it is essential to ensure the child stays warm and avoids further exposure to cold to prevent worsening of symptoms.
