Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, who has started elementary school. Recently, the child's ears have been a bit painful. In the morning, sometimes there is yellow liquid discharge, and the ears also have a buzzing sound. There is a slight fever as well. Please ask: How should otitis media with earwax and purulent discharge be treated?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor according to the symptoms. You can opt for local treatment, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to give pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used accordingly. If the condition is serious, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In cases of a tympanic membrane perforation, parents can consider surgical treatment for the child. After the condition improves, it is advisable to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
