Question
My son is 6 years old and has been complaining of ear pain recently. I noticed that there is yellow earwax coming out, and he also has headaches and a fever. How should I treat my child’s yellow earwax and otitis media?
Answer
Treatment should be based on the child’s symptoms and includesymptomatic anti-inflammatory medication (symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication). You can also combine it with regional treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for ear pain. In cases of ear pain, you can also give the child painkillers. If there is also a fever, some antipyretic medicine can be taken. In case of high fever, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there is a risk of perforation of the eardrum, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child gets plenty of nutrition, with a diet mainly consisting of light and easy-to-digest foods. Also, make sure the child gets enough rest and avoids fatigue.
