Patient's question:
My son is 9 years old. Recently, he told me that his ears are a bit painful. Upon examination, I noticed that the earwax is purulent and slightly yellow. At the same time, his appetite is poor, and his throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How to treat otitis media with yellow earwax in children.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric otitis media, giving the child some antibiotics can be quite effective. It can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with obvious ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if an eardrum perforation has already occurred, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold, which could worsen the symptoms.
