Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 3 years old. Recently, the child has been scratching her ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, the earwax was slightly thick and yellowish. Additionally, her appetite has been poor, and her throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media with purulent earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be used. Ear secretion bacterial culture can be performed, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used based on the test results. If the child's ear hurts more, appropriate pain-relieving medication can also be given. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a case of eardrum perforation, surgical treatment for the child can be considered. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
