How to treat children's otitis media with purulent earwax

Patient's question:

Baby girl, only 3 years old. This week, the child said her ears hurt. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and yellowish. At the same time, her appetite wasn't good, and her throat felt uncomfortable. Please ask: How should purulent earwax from otitis media in children be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for the treatment of otitis media and can be selected as needed. While taking medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, pain relievers should be given appropriately. If the child has a high fever, antipyretic drugs should be used cautiously. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or if an eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
