How should otitis media with purulent earwax be treated properly in children

Patient's question:

Little girl, only 8 years old, this week, the child said her ears felt itchy and painful. Additionally, there was yellow earwax discharge, and her appetite was poor, and her throat felt uncomfortable. Please ask: How should middle ear infection with purulent earwax be treated properly.

Doctor's answer:

Treatment should be based on the child's symptoms and given symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be administered. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, please seek medical attention at the hospital as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if an eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and eats more vegetables and fruits.
