Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. Recently, the child said that his ear is itchy and painful. I noticed that there is occasionally yellow fluid leaking out. Additionally, he seems to have no appetite and is very weak. Please advise: How should I treat my child's otitis media with purulent earwax?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, first of all, you can use some symptomatic antibiotics, and you can also combine some local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the ear pain is severe, you can appropriately give some analgesics. If it is accompanied by high fever, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, please go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. If the patient develops severe symptoms, such as a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to seek medical treatment promptly for surgery. Finally, it is hoped that parents can pay attention to this disease and take the child to the hospital for early medical treatment. Also, pay attention to relevant prevention and health care work in daily life.
