Patient's question:
My male child, who is 5 years old, has been complaining that his ears are a bit painful recently. I noticed that there is a lot of yellow earwax, and there is a buzzing sensation in his ears, as well as a slight fever. Could you please advise on how to treat otitis media with yellow earwax in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. Ear secretion bacterial culture can be performed, and anti-inflammatory ear drops should be used based on the test results. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge symptoms are severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has a fever, parents can give them some fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. If there are multiple acute severe cases or if an eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
