Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 8 years old. Recently, her ears have been a bit painful, and yellow earwax has been leaking out in the morning. Additionally, her appetite is poor, and her throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How to diagnose and treat purulent otitis media in children.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it's otitis media in children, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics can be effective. Parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. For children with obvious earache symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication should be taken. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If your child has a tympanic membrane perforation, it's important to seek surgical treatment at the hospital promptly. During treatment, maintain a light diet and focus on liquid foods.
