Patient's question:
My male child is 5 years old. Recently, he said his ears are itchy and painful. Additionally, he has a lot of yellow earwax, and his appetite is poor, and his throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should you treat otitis media with purulent earwax for good results?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used for the clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them based on the symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. Pain relievers can be given according to the child's condition, especially when ear pain is intense, to help alleviate the suffering. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If these methods do not relieve the condition, medical attention is necessary. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media at present. Additionally, if a eardrum perforation occurs, it requires timely surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
