Question
My 3-year-old daughter just started kindergarten, and her ears have been itchy and painful. There is a lot of yellow earwax, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should I treat yellow earwax in pediatric otitis media?
Answer
Currently, the clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media mainly involves the use of antibiotics, symptomatic medication can be used according to the child’s symptoms, anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be considered, and analgesics can be given for ear pain. If there is a high fever, medication should be used according to the symptoms. If the condition is severe, immediate medical attention should be sought. In cases of tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment can be considered. Parents are advised to pay attention to the disease and seek medical treatment as soon as possible. Daily prevention and health care work should also be paid attention to.
