Question
My 6-year-old son recently developed an itchy and painful ear, with an increase in yellow earwax, a buzzing sound in the ear, and a slight fever. How should I treat his yellow earwax otitis media?
Answer
If a child has otitis media, antibiotics can be used first for treatment, along with topical ear drops to reduce inflammation, and painkillers if necessary. If there are symptoms of fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If an eardrum perforation occurs, surgery should be performed as soon as possible. At the same time, pay attention to a reasonable diet and rest schedule to promote recovery.
