Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old. Recently, the child has been scratching her ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax. Additionally, she seems to have no appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, anti-inflammatory drugs can be used symptomatically. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. Painkillers can be given to the child if there is ear pain. Additionally, if a fever is present, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child experiences severe conditions, such as a perforated eardrum, timely treatment is required. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
