Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. This week, the child said his ears felt itchy and painful. In the morning, there was yellow earwax discharge, accompanied by some low-grade fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
You can appropriately use some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child's symptoms of ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child also has a high fever, appropriate use of fever-reducing medication is necessary. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child's condition is severe and there is a tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment in the hospital is required. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help with early recovery from the illness.
