Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. Recently, he said he has ear pain. Additionally, the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish. Also, his appetite is poor and his throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should I treat my child's otitis media with purulent earwax?Doctor's answer:
If the child gets otitis media, first you can use some symptomatic antibiotics. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents can appropriately give some pain relievers to alleviate it. If the child has a fever, parents can give the child some fever-reducing medication. In serious cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and sleep habits for the child to help the disease recover early.
