Question
How should one diagnose and treat yellow earwax in children with ear infections?
Answer
The current clinical treatments for pediatric otitis media include the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can choose based on the symptoms, with options including systemic medication as well as regional treatment, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. For children with prominent earache symptoms, painkillers can be used. If fever is present, fever-reducing medication can also be taken. It is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible if there is a high fever. If there is a perforation in the eardrum, parents may consider surgical treatment for their child. During the treatment period, it is advised to maintain a light diet, focusing on liquid foods.
