Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. Recently, he said he has ear pain. In the morning, yellow earwax has been leaking from his ears. Additionally, he has a low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with purulent discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. Local medication can be used, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be chosen. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to administer pain relief medication based on the situation. If the child has a high fever, some fever-reducing medication should be used in moderation. If the condition is severe, prompt medical treatment is necessary. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or the eardrum has already perforated, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
