Question
Dear parents, my 9-year-old daughter has been scratching her ears and complaining of itching this week. I noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellow, and she also has headaches and a fever. How should we effectively treat her otitis media with yellow earwax?
Answer
Firstly, for the treatment of pediatric otitis media, parents can give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. They can also use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for regional treatment. If the child’s ear pain is severe, they can also use some painkillers. If the child has a particularly high fever, some antipyretics should be used in moderation. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child develops serious conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, timely medical treatment is required. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
