Patient's question:
Boy, he is already one year old. This week, the child said his ears hurt. He noticed that there was occasionally some yellow liquid leaking out. Also, his appetite is not good, and his throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media with purulent earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications should be given based on the child's symptoms. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops, and if the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate analgesic medication can also be provided. If the child has a high fever, medications should be used according to the symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to the above medication treatments, if the child experiences severe conditions, such as a tympanic membrane perforation, immediate treatment is required. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light meals. Additionally, sufficient rest should be maintained to avoid fatigue.
