Question
My son is 8 years old and has been feeling itchy and painful in his ear for the past few days. I’ve noticed yellow earwax coming out, and he seems to have no appetite and looks very weak. How should a child with yellow earwax in otitis media be treated?
Answer
The treatment for otitis media varies depending on the specific symptoms of the child, which may include:
- Using local anti-inflammatory medication, such as ear drops.
- Administering appropriate painkillers to relieve ear pain.
- If the child has a high fever, consider using fever reducers.
- If the child has a perforated eardrum, seek medical attention for surgical treatment as soon as possible.
- It is recommended that parents pay attention to this disease, take their child to the doctor in a timely manner, and pay attention to daily prevention and health care.
