Question

How should one diagnose and treat a child with yellow earwax and otitis media?

Answer

Generally, for pediatric otitis media, it can be considered to administer some antibiotics to the child, which is usually effective. Parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for localized treatment, and if the child experiences ear pain, some painkillers can be given in moderation. If the child has a severe fever, a fever-reducing medicine should be used appropriately. In case of serious conditions, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If the child develops a perforated eardrum, it is recommended to seek medical attention for surgical treatment as soon as possible, while also ensuring the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of vegetables and fruits.
