How to treat otitis media with yellow earwax in children

Patient's question:

Boy, already 3 years old, these past few days, the child has said that his ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, yellow earwax has flowed out, and at the same time, his ears are buzzing a bit, and he has a low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated in children?

Doctor's answer:

The treatment for pediatric otitis media can involve symptomatic medication based on the child's symptoms. Bacterial culture of ear discharge can be performed, and anti-inflammatory ear drops may be used based on the test results. For children with significant ear pain, analgesic medication can be administered. Additionally, if the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child's condition is severe and results in a tympanic membrane perforation, hospitalization and surgical treatment are necessary. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as early as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
