Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 9 years old. This week, the child said her ears hurt. In the morning, there was occasionally some yellow liquid leaking out, and it was accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with purulent earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treatment should be based on the child's symptoms and include administering anti-inflammatory medication. Parents can use topical ear drops for local treatment. Pain relievers can also be given according to the child's condition, especially when ear pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be given or the child should be taken to the hospital immediately. In addition to these medications, if the child's condition is severe and involves a perforated eardrum, surgery may be required at the hospital. During treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
