Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. Recently, he told me that his ears are a bit painful. I noticed that there is a lot of yellow earwax, and he is also not eating well and feels sore in his throat. Could you please advise on how to treat otitis media with yellow earwax in children?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication should be given based on the child's symptoms, or local medication can also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the baby. Pain relievers can also be administered depending on the child's condition, especially when the earache is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to seek hospital treatment for surgical intervention. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the illness recover as soon as possible.
