Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 8 years old. Recently, the child told me that his ears are a bit painful. Additionally, he found that the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow, and at the same time, his appetite is not good and his throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should we treat otitis media with purulent discharge in children for good results?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotics. Ear secretion bacterial culture can be performed, and anti-inflammatory ear drops should be used based on the test results. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child also has a high fever, appropriate fever-reducing medication can be given. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media is prone to recurrence, and if there is a perforation of the eardrum, it must be treated promptly. During treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid early recovery.
