Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 5 years old, these past few days, the child has been scratching her ears and saying they are itchy. Upon noticing it, it was found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, and the appetite was also poor, and the throat was uncomfortable. Please ask: How to treat otitis media with purulent earwax in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be used appropriately. Local topical medication can be chosen, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge symptoms are severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In severe cases, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the patient experiences severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, it is essential to go to the hospital for surgical treatment. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
