Patient's question:
Boys, they are already 6 years old. In recent days, the child said their ears hurt. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax. Also, their appetite is not good, and their throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How to treat otitis media with purulent earwax in children.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is otitis media in children, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. For children with significant ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be applied. If the child has a high fever, it is advisable to use some fever-reducing medication in moderation. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. The above are relatively common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is important to go to the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
