Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old. In the past few days, the child has said her ears are itchy and painful. It has been noticed that there is a lot of yellow earwax, and at the same time, it seems she has no appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with purulent earwax in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used in clinical treatment for pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose based on symptoms. Local treatment can also be performed, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the child. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing drugs can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. Otitis media has a tendency to recur. If there is a perforation of the eardrum, timely treatment is necessary. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with ample nutrients, with a diet focusing on light and easily digestible foods. Rest should also be emphasized to avoid fatigue.
