Patient's question:
Boys, who are already 6 years old, these days, the child said that his ears are itchy and painful, in addition, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How to treat otitis media with purulent earwax in children.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media, the primary approach is the use of antibiotic medications. Symptomatic medications can be administered based on the child's symptoms, which have proven effective. Bacterial culture of ear secretions can be performed, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used based on the test results. If the child experiences significant ear pain, appropriate analgesic medication should be provided. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be given, or they should be taken to the hospital immediately. In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child's condition is severe and involves a tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment in a hospital is necessary. During the treatment period, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
