Patient's question:
Female baby, only 7 years old, these days, the child said her ears hurt. Upon noticing, it was found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, and accompanied by headache and fever. Please ask: How should the treatment be for the purulent discharge of otitis media in the child?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used in clinical treatment for pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them based on symptoms, and can also combine them with some local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. When a child's ear pain is severe, a small amount of pain-relieving medication can also be used. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing drugs can be given, or they should be taken to the hospital immediately. The above are common treatment methods. However, if a child develops a symptom of a tympanic membrane perforation, medical treatment should be administered promptly. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent symptoms from worsening due to a cold.
