Patient's question:
Boy, already 4 years old, recently, the child has been scratching his ears and saying they are itchy. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and yellowish, accompanied by a headache and fever. Please ask: How can otitis media with yellow earwax be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, you can give children some symptomatic antibiotic medications. While taking medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate pain relievers to alleviate it. If accompanied by high fever, medications should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. If your child has a problem with a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to promptly seek medical treatment at the hospital. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest.
