Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 3 years old this year, has been saying that her ears are itchy and painful for the past few days. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and slightly yellow. At the same time, her appetite is not good, and her throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How to treat otitis media with yellow earwax in children.Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, you can give children some symptomatic antibiotic medications. While taking the medication, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be applied. Depending on the child's condition, pain relievers can be given, especially when ear pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a fever, you can give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. Otitis media has a characteristic of recurring episodes. If there is a case of a eardrum perforation, it is necessary to seek timely medical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate nutrition, with a diet focused on light foods. Additionally, it is essential to get sufficient rest and avoid fatigue.
