Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. In the past few days, my child has been experiencing some ear pain. Additionally, I noticed that the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow, and there's a buzzing sound in the ear. There's also mild fever. I'd like to ask: How should I treat my child's otitis media with purulent earwax?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric otitis media can involve the use of symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms, and local treatments such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child primarily experiences ear pain, parents are advised to give appropriate pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has a high fever, medications should be administered based on their symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media tends to recur, and if there is a case of eardrum perforation, it is essential to seek timely medical treatment. Finally, parents should take this disease seriously, bring their child for medical treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures.
