Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 9 years old. Recently, the child has been scratching his ears and saying they itch. In the morning, yellow earwax had oozed out, and he also hasn't been eating well and has a sore throat. Please ask: What should be done to diagnose and treat otitis media with purulent earwax?Doctor's answer:
When treating, the right anti-inflammatory medication should be given based on the child's symptoms, and local medication can also be used, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the baby. When the child has severe ear pain, mild pain relievers can be used in moderation. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used appropriately. If the condition is serious, immediate medical attention is necessary. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if a eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. During this period, ensure the child gets sufficient rest and eats more vegetables and fruits.
