Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 4 years old. In recent days, the child has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax. Moreover, it is accompanied by a headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with purulent earwax be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating, should be administered based on the child's symptoms. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child's ear pain is severe, pain-relieving medication should be given as needed. If the child has a high fever, antipyretic medication should be used appropriately. If the condition is serious, seek medical attention promptly. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a focus on a light diet. Additionally, ensure the child gets plenty of rest and avoids fatigue.
