Patient's question:
My little girl is 2 years old. Recently, her ears have been a bit painful. In the morning, her earwax is a bit thick and yellow. Additionally, she has a headache and a fever. Please ask: How is it best to treat otitis media with yellow earwax in children?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media, antibiotics are primarily used. Symptomatic medications can be administered based on the child's symptoms, which are quite effective. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate pain relief medication. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These methods are commonly used for treating otitis media. Additionally, if a eardrum perforation occurs, it requires timely surgical treatment. During this period, ensure the child gets sufficient rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
