Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 9 years old. Recently, the child has said that his ears are itchy and painful. He noticed that there is a lot of yellow earwax, and he also has some low-grade fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children under the guidance of a doctor to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be used. If the child experiences intense ear pain, pain relievers may be given according to the situation. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medications. In serious cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. The above methods are commonly used in the treatment of otitis media. Additionally, if there is a case of eardrum perforation, timely surgical treatment is necessary. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to help the condition recover as soon as possible.
