Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old. In recent days, the child said her ears are itchy and painful. She has noticed that there is a lot of yellow earwax, and it seems she has no appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How can otitis media with purulent earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. Local treatment options include using anti-inflammatory ear drops. When a child experiences severe ear pain, mild pain relievers can be used in moderation. Some children may also have a fever, in which case fever-reducing medication can be given orally. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. If the patient develops severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, timely surgical treatment in a hospital is necessary. During treatment, maintain a light diet, and focus on consuming liquid foods.
