Question
My child is a 1-year-old boy. Recently, he has been experiencing ear pain, yellow earwax, a buzzing sound in his ear, and a slight fever. How should we treat otitis media in children with yellow earwax?
Answer
Currently, the treatment methods for pediatric otitis media mainly include antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can choose the appropriate medication based on the condition. In terms of regional treatment, anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used. If the main symptom is ear pain, consider medication to relieve pain. If the child has a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. In case of severe conditions, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the child develops a perforated eardrum, immediate hospital treatment and surgery are required. During the treatment period, it is also necessary to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
