Question
A 3-year-old girl, just started kindergarten, has recently been experiencing symptoms such as itchy and painful ears, discharge of yellow fluid, buzzing in the ears, and low fever. How to treat yellow earwax in children with otitis media?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, regional treatments can be considered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the primary symptom is ear pain, painkillers may be considered. If the child has a fever, timely use of antipyretics is appropriate. In severe cases, seek medical attention promptly. If the child develops a perforated eardrum, it is advisable to seek medical attention for surgical treatment as soon as possible. At the same time, pay attention to a reasonable diet and rest schedule to aid in recovery from the disease.
