Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 4 years old. In recent days, the child said his ears hurt. In the morning, yellow earwax was discharged, and his appetite was also poor, and his throat felt uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, symptomatic use of anti-inflammatory drugs can be used. Local drug treatment is also an option, such as choosing anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to administer pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has a fever, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child's condition worsens and results in a eardrum perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment. Parents should also pay attention to taking preventive measures to avoid recurrent otitis media.
