Question
Dear Sir/Madam, my son is just over 3 years old. This week, he told me his ear was a bit painful, and in the morning, I found the earwax was purulent and a bit yellow. Additionally, he seems to have little appetite and is rather weak. How should I treat his otitis media with yellow earwax?
Answer
The treatment method should be based on the child’s symptoms and includesymptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. Regional use of anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be considered. If the child’s ear pain is severe, it is recommended to provide pain relief medication according to the situation. If there is a fever, a reasonable amount of antipyretic medication can be used. In case of serious conditions, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. Common treatment methods include surgical treatment for tympanic membrane perforation symptoms, while also paying attention to providing a light diet, increasing nutritional supplementation, and promoting recovery.
