Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. Recently, he has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. Occasionally, there is also yellow liquid discharge, and his appetite is poor, along with a sore throat. I would like to ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs should be given based on the child's symptoms. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be administered. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication methods, if the child's condition is severe and results in a tympanic membrane perforation, hospital surgery is required. Pay attention to a light diet, and during the treatment period, a liquid diet should be followed.
