Child has otitis media with purulent earwax, how should it be treated

Patient's question:

Boys, already 4 years old, this week, the child said his ears hurt. In the morning, there was yellow earwax coming out, and it was accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with purulent earwax be treated in children.

Doctor's answer:

You can appropriately use some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs. If the child's condition is severe, you can also combine some local treatments, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with obvious ear pain symptoms, you can use pain-relieving medication. Some children may also have a fever, in which case you can give them oral fever-reducing medication. If this does not relieve the symptoms, it is essential to seek medical attention. If your child has a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgery promptly. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and primarily consume liquid food during treatment.
