Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 years old. This week, the child's ears have been a bit painful. Upon noticing, it was found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, accompanied by headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with purulent discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be used appropriately. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child has ear pain, pain relievers can also be given. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a possibility of a tympanic membrane perforation, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take the child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
