Question
Dear reader, our little girl is currently 6 years old. Over the past few days, she has been constantly tugging at her ear, complaining of itching. In the morning, there has been a lot of yellow earwax. Additionally, she seems to have little appetite and is feeling quite tired. How should we treat yellow earwax in children with otitis media?
Answer
If a child has otitis media, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be used. While taking medication, regional treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be administered. In cases of ear pain, painkillers can be given to the child. If fever is present, some fever-reducing medication can also be taken. In cases of high fever, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child develops severe conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, timely medical treatment is required. During this period, make sure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
