Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. Recently, her ears have been a bit painful. She noticed that the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow, and her appetite is also poor, with a sore throat. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
For treating pediatric otitis media, parents can first give their children anti-inflammatory medications. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medication may be considered. If the child has a high fever, antipyretic drugs should be used cautiously. If the condition is severe, medical attention should be sought promptly. If your child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to visit the hospital for surgery promptly. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods. Additionally, plenty of rest should be maintained to avoid fatigue.
