Question: My 3-year-old daughter just started kindergarten, and her ears have been itchy and painful. There is a lot of yellow earwax, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should yellow earwax in pediatric otitis media be treated? Answer: Clinically, the treatment of pediatric otitis media primarily involves the use of antibiotics, regional application of anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be considered, and immediate medical attention should be sought if symptoms are severe.
Treating pediatric otitis media, parents can first give the child some anti-inflammatory medication, perform a bacterial culture of ear secretions, use anti-inflammatory ear drops based on the results of the examination, and if the child’s ear pain is significant, some painkillers can be administered appropriately. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic medication can be taken. In case of high fever, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. These methods are currently commonly used in the treatment of otitis media. Moreover, if there is a perforation of the eardrum, timely surgical treatment is required. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
