Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. Recently, the child said his ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and his ears were buzzing. He also has a slightly low 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, they can first use some symptomatic antibiotic medication. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate doses of pain-relieving medication can also be used. If the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, they should seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child has a eardrum perforation, they should go to the hospital for surgery as soon as possible. At the same time, it's also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to help the illness recover as soon as possible.
