Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. This week, he has been experiencing some ear pain, and he also has a lot of yellow earwax. Additionally, he has been hearing a buzzing sound in his ears and has a slight fever. Could you please advise on how to treat otitis media with yellow earwax in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, first you can use some symptomatic antibiotic medications. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to give pain relievers according to the situation. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing drugs should be used cautiously. If it is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Otitis media is characterized by recurrence, and if there is a eardrum perforation, timely treatment is required. During this period, pay attention to ensuring the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
