Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 9 years old. Recently, the child said her ears feel itchy and painful, and occasionally, yellowish fluid also flows out. Additionally, her appetite is poor, and her throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media with purulent earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating otitis media and can be selected accordingly. Local medication can be administered, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. When a child has severe ear pain, it is advisable to use pain-relieving medication in moderation. If the child also has a high fever, fever-reducing drugs should be used cautiously. In severe cases, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If a child experiences a perforated eardrum, it is recommended to visit the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
