Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started elementary school. Recently, the child has said his ears hurt. In the morning, there is occasionally a yellow discharge, and his ears are buzzing. He also has a slight fever. Please ask: How to treat otitis media with yellow earwax in children?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment for pediatric otitis media, the primary approach is the use of antibiotics. Symptomatic medications can be administered based on the child's symptoms, which are quite effective. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. For children with significant ear pain, pain-relieving medications can be applied. If the child has a fever, parents can provide fever-reducing medications or seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital. If your child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to promptly seek surgical treatment at the hospital. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
