Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 6 years old. This week, the child told me his ears hurt a bit. He noticed that the earwax was a bit thick and yellowish, and there was a buzzing sound in his ears, and he had a slight fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with purulent earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose based on symptoms. Local medication can be used, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be selected. Pain relievers can be given to children if they have ear pain. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If your child has a problem with a ruptured eardrum, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgery as soon as possible. Pay attention to a light diet, and during treatment, a liquid diet should be primarily followed.
