Question
My child is a 6-year-old boy. Recently, he has been experiencing ear pain, with a lot of yellow earwax and a buzzing sound in his ear. He also has a slight fever. How should I treat otitis media in children accompanied by yellow earwax?
Answer
If your child has otitis media, appropriate antibiotic treatment can be used first, along with topical ear drops for inflammation. If the child’s ear pain is severe, painkillers can be considered. For high fever, antipyretic medication can be used as needed. In case of severe conditions, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media often recurs, and if there is a perforation in the eardrum, timely treatment is necessary. During the treatment period, ensure that your child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of fruits and vegetables.
