Question
My son is 4 years old. Recently, he said his ear itched and his earwax was yellow with a slight fever. How should I treat the yellow earwax symptoms of my child’s otitis media?
Answer
Treatment should be based on the child’s symptoms, providing symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. Regional treatment can use ear drops. For severe ear pain, painkillers can be used in appropriate amounts. If there is a fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, medical assistance should be sought. Immediate surgery is required for eardrum perforation. Pay attention to hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
