Patient's question:
A 3-year-old girl just started attending kindergarten. Recently, her ears have been a bit painful. Additionally, she has a lot of yellow earwax, poor appetite, and a sore throat. Please advise: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is otitis media in children, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local medication can also be used, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the baby. If the child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate symptoms. If the child has a high fever, some fever-reducing medication should be used in moderation. If the condition is severe, prompt medical attention is necessary. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child's condition is severe and results in a eardrum perforation, medical treatment such as surgery is required at the hospital. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take their children to the hospital for early medical treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
