Patient's question:
Boys, who are already 2 years old, have recently complained of ear pain. Additionally, yellow earwax has been discharged, and there is also some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric otitis media first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. Pain relievers can be given based on the child's condition, especially when the ear pain is severe, to help alleviate the suffering. Additionally, if the child has a fever, they can also take fever-reducing medication. If the fever is high, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child has a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to go to the hospital promptly for surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet consisting mainly of light foods, while also ensuring they get plenty of rest and avoid fatigue.
