Patient's question:
My male child is 8 years old. In the past few days, the child told me his ears are a bit painful. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax. Moreover, it is accompanied by a headache and fever. Please ask: How should acute otitis media with purulent earwax be treated well for children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local treatment can be considered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if an eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
