Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 4 years old. In recent days, the child told me his ears hurt a bit. I noticed that there is a lot of yellow earwax, and at the same time, there is some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain, it is recommended to give pain relievers based on the situation. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used according to the child's symptoms. In severe cases, please go to the hospital as soon as possible for treatment. In addition to these methods of drug treatment, if the child's condition is severe and results in a eardrum perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest time.
