Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 2 years old. Recently, the child said his ears feel itchy and painful. In the morning, yellow earwax was flowing out, and it seems he has no appetite and is also very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be used appropriately. Parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment for the child. If the child's ear pain is severe, pain relievers can be given as needed. If the child also has high fever, antipyretic drugs should be used in moderation. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child's condition is severe and involves a tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment is required in the hospital. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
