Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old this year. This week, the child said his ear feels itchy and painful. Additionally, he has a lot of yellow earwax, poor appetite, and a sore throat. Please ask: How can otitis media with yellow earwax be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for the treatment of otitis media and can be selected accordingly. Local medication is available, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used for treatment. If a child has severe ear pain, it is recommended to give some pain relievers based on the situation. If the child also has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. If your child experiences a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to visit the hospital in a timely manner for surgical treatment. Lastly, we hope parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children for medical treatment as early as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
