Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
Excessive earwax in children may be caused by acute otitis media or may result from overactive cerumen secretion. If it is caused by acute otitis media, anti-inflammatory treatment using medications such as lomefloxacin hydrochloride ear drops can be administered under a doctor's guidance, and ear canal hygiene should also be maintained. If the condition is due to overactive cerumen production, this is considered a normal physiological phenomenon, and parents should pay attention to the child's ear canal hygiene in daily life.
