Patient's question:
Female baby, only 1 year old, this week, the child said her ears felt itchy and painful. She noticed that yellow earwax was coming out, and it seemed she had no appetite and felt very weak. Please ask: 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 select some anti-inflammatory medications under their guidance. You can also have a bacterial culture of ear discharge conducted, and use anti-inflammatory ear drops based on the test results. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a high fever, use fever-reducing medications in moderation. In severe cases, seek medical attention promptly. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, timely hospital surgery is required. During treatment, maintain a light diet and focus on a liquid diet.
