Patient's question:
Boys, just turned 7 years old. This week, the child told me that his ears were a bit sore. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax. Also, it seems that he has no appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How should the treatment be for otitis media with purulent earwax in the child.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications should be given based on the child's symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be administered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be provided. If accompanied by high fever, medications should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, seek immediate medical attention at the hospital. If the child develops a perforated eardrum, it is recommended to seek surgical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
