Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, attending primary school. Recently, the child has said his ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, and accompanied by some low fever. Question: How is it best to treat otitis media with yellow earwax in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately used, and they can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. When a child has severe ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be used in moderation. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. These methods are commonly used for treating otitis media currently. Additionally, if there is a case of eardrum perforation, timely surgical treatment is required. Parents should also pay attention to protecting their children to prevent recurrent otitis media.
