Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, who has started elementary school. Recently, the child has been experiencing some ear pain. He noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, and he also seems to have no appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How should the treatment be for otitis media with purulent earwax?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric otitis media first, parents can give their children some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with significant ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be administered. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication should be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment should be sought at a hospital as soon as possible. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to help the condition recover more quickly.
