Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old. Recently, the child told me that her ears are a bit painful. Additionally, she has a lot of yellow earwax, and there is also some low-grade fever. Please ask: How is it better to treat otitis media with purulent earwax in children?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications should be given based on the child's symptoms. Local medications can also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the baby. If the child has ear pain, pain relief medication can be given. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media. Additionally, if a tympanic membrane perforation occurs, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
