Patient's question:
A 3-year-old girl has just started kindergarten. This week, the child said her ears hurt, and she noticed yellow earwax coming out. At the same time, she also had a headache and a fever. Question: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can consult your doctor and choose anti-inflammatory medications based on your symptoms. Local treatment can also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to children. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, you may consider giving pain-relieving medication. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If the symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. If there is a perforation of the eardrum, surgical treatment for the child may be considered. Finally, we hope parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures.
