Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 4 years old. Recently, the child told me that her ears are a bit painful, and there is also some yellow earwax discharge. Additionally, she has a low-grade fever. Question: How can acute otitis media with purulent earwax be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotic medications and also combine them with some local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use pain-relieving medication to alleviate the symptoms. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, please go to the hospital immediately for treatment. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child exhibits severe conditions, such as a perforated eardrum, immediate treatment is required. During the treatment period, it is essential to keep the child warm and avoid further exacerbating the symptoms by catching a cold.
