Girl baby, only 2 years old, recently, her ears have been a bit sore. Additionally, there is yellow earwax discharge, and she also has poor appetite and a sore throat. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, they can use anti-inflammatory drugs accordingly. Local medication can be applied, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. In case of ear pain, pain relievers can also be given to the child. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the condition does not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. Otitis media is prone to recurring. If there is a perforation of the eardrum, it needs to be treated promptly. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest.
