Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started primary school. In the past few days, the child has said his ears hurt. Additionally, he has a lot of yellow earwax, and also seems to have no appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How to treat the otitis media with purulent earwax in children effectively.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs for their children under the guidance of a doctor, which can relieve inflammatory symptoms. An ear secretion bacterial culture can be conducted, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used based on the test results. Pain relievers can also be given to children depending on their condition, especially when ear pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a fever, parents can give them some fever-reducing medication. In serious cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child has a perforated eardrum, they need to be taken to the hospital for surgery in a timely manner. Pay attention to a light diet during the day, and focus on liquid foods during the treatment period.
