Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 2 years old. Recently, the child told me that his ears are a bit painful, and the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish. At the same time, he also has a headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with purulent earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is otitis media in children, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics can be given to the child, which is quite effective. Local drug treatment can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child has severe ear pain, it is recommended to administer pain relievers based on the situation. If the child also has high fever, some fever-reducing medication should be used in moderation. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if a tympanic membrane perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child is kept warm to prevent the symptoms from worsening due to a cold.
