Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 9 years old. This week, his ears have been a bit sore, and he has noticed that there is occasionally some yellow fluid leaking out. Additionally, it seems that he has little appetite and feels very weak. Could you please advise on how to treat otitis media with yellow earwax in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local drug treatment can be used, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents can appropriately give some pain-relieving medication to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a fever, you can give them some fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a symptom of a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to promptly take them to the hospital for surgical treatment. Parents should also pay attention to taking protective measures for their children to prevent the middle ear infection from recurring.
