Patient's question:
My little girl is 4 years old. Recently, she told me her ear is a bit painful. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and she also mentioned a buzzing sound in her ear and a slightly low fever. Please advise on how to treat her otitis media with purulent earwax.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 according to the symptoms. Local medication treatment is available, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be selected. If the child has severe ear pain, it is recommended to provide pain relief medication based on the situation. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media currently. Additionally, if there is a case of eardrum perforation, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate nutrition, with a light diet as the main focus. Additionally, sufficient rest should be ensured to avoid fatigue.
