How to treat a child's otitis media with purulent earwax

Patient's question:

Girl baby, only 1 year old, this week, the child said her ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, yellow earwax flowed out, and it was accompanied by headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with purulent earwax be treated in children.

Doctor's answer:

If the child gets otitis media, first, you can use some symptomatic antibiotics. If the child's condition is severe, you can also use some local treatments, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with obvious ear pain symptoms, you can use some analgesic drugs. If the child has a high fever, you should use fever-reducing medication appropriately. If it's serious, it's necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or an eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. During this time, make sure the child gets enough rest and eats more vegetables and fruits.
