Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. This week, the child said her ears hurt. In the morning, it was found that the earwax was purulent, slightly yellow, and it seemed that she had no appetite and was very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with purulent discharge in children be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics, or topical medication can be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the baby. In case of ear pain, pain relievers can also be given to the child. Additionally, if a fever is present, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above are relatively common treatment methods. However, if the child shows symptoms of a ruptured eardrum, it is necessary to promptly seek hospital treatment for surgical intervention. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
