Patient's question:
My little girl is 7 years old. Recently, she told me that her ears hurt a bit. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and her ears were buzzing. She also has a low fever. I'm asking: How can we effectively treat her otitis media with purulent earwax?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, first they can take some symptomatic antibiotics. Bacterial culture of ear discharge can be conducted, and based on the test results, anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge symptoms are severe, it is recommended to use some pain-relieving medication to alleviate the symptoms. If the child also has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a perforated eardrum, they need to be taken to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. Finally, it is hoped that parents can pay attention to this disease and take their children to seek medical treatment early. It is also important to pay attention to related prevention and health care measures in daily life.
