Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 1 year old. This week, the child told me her ears are a bit painful. She noticed occasionally there's yellow fluid leaking out, accompanied by headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with purulent earwax be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for children, and pain-relieving medication can be applied for children with severe ear pain. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication. In serious cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If your child has a ruptured eardrum, it is necessary to seek surgical treatment in the hospital in a timely manner. Pay attention to a light diet, and during the treatment period, a liquid diet should be primarily followed.
