Question
My son is 2 years old. This week, he has been constantly tugging at his ear, saying it itches. In the morning, there have been occasional yellow liquids coming out. Additionally, he seems to have little appetite and is very weak. How should we treat his otitis media with yellow earwax?
Answer
It is appropriate to use some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs, and you can also combine some regional treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment when there is ear pain. You can also give the child some painkillers if necessary. If the child also has a high fever, consider taking antipyretic medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the patient develops severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, immediate hospital surgery is required. Pay attention to a light diet in daily life, and consume mainly liquid foods during treatment.
