Patient's question:
Boys, already 7 years old, this week, the child told me that his ears hurt a little. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should the treatment be for otitis media with purulent discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. For children with pronounced ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If these methods do not alleviate the symptoms, it is essential to seek medical attention. The above methods are commonly used in the treatment of otitis media. Additionally, if a tympanic membrane perforation occurs, it requires timely surgical treatment. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and daily routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
