Patient's question:
My male child, who is 8 years old, has been complaining that his ears are itchy and painful for these few days. Additionally, there is occasionally a yellowish discharge, and his appetite is poor, and his throat is uncomfortable. I would like to ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, the right anti-inflammatory medication should be given based on the child's symptoms. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, a small amount of pain-relieving medication can also be used. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If the condition does not improve, medical attention is necessary. If your child has a eardrum perforation, it is important to go to the hospital for surgery as soon as possible. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional intake to help them recover more quickly.
