Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 7 years old. Recently, her ears have been a bit painful. She noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellow, and she also has some low fever.: How can you treat the pus-like earwax in a child's otitis media well?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, first, they can take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. An ear secretion bacterial culture can be performed, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used based on the test results. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has a fever, parents can give them some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if a eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be promptly initiated. During the treatment period, it is essential to keep the child warm and avoid exposure to cold to prevent the symptoms from worsening.
