Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 4 years old. Recently, the child's ears have been a bit painful, and additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and the ears are buzzing. There is also a slight fever. Please ask: How is it best to treat otitis media with purulent earwax in children?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric otitis media can involve using symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms. Local medication can be applied, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. When the child's ear pain is severe, a small amount of pain-relieving medication can also be used. If the child has a fever, parents can give them medication to reduce the fever. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a ruptured eardrum, timely hospital treatment and surgery may be necessary. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
