Patient's question:
My little girl is 5 years old. Recently, her ears have been a bit painful, and occasionally, yellow fluid has been leaking in the morning. Additionally, she has a low fever. I would like to ask: How should otitis media with purulent earwax be treated?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric otitis media first, parents can give their children some anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can also use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. When the child's ear pain is severe, it is appropriate to use some pain-relieving medication. If the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. These methods are commonly used for treating otitis media at present. Additionally, if there is a perforation of the eardrum, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. After the condition improves, it is recommended to allow the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
