Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 5 years old. This week, the child said her ears are itchy and painful, and there is also yellow earwax discharge. Additionally, her appetite is poor and her throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How can otitis media with purulent earwax be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on the symptoms. You can have a bacterial culture of ear secretions performed, and use anti-inflammatory ear drops based on the test results. If the child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child also has a fever, you can take some fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the patient experiences severe symptoms, such as a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment promptly. During the treatment period, it is essential to keep the child warm and avoid further worsening of the symptoms due to cold exposure.
