Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 1 year old. Recently, the child has been scratching her ears and saying they itch. Upon noticing, it was found that the earwax was purulent, slightly yellow, accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication should be administered based on the child's symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medication may be considered. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used appropriately. If the condition is severe, prompt medical attention is necessary. If your child experiences a tympanic membrane perforation, it is important to seek surgical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. Parents should also pay attention to preventive measures to avoid a recurrence of otitis media.
