Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old. Recently, the child told me her ears are a bit painful. In the morning, there are occasionally yellowish liquids leaking out, and at the same time, she hears a buzzing sound in her ears. She also has a slightly low fever. Could you please advise on how to treat middle ear infection with pus-like earwax properly?Doctor's answer:
Currently in clinical practice, the treatment of otitis media in children primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Symptomatic medications can be used based on the child's symptoms, and the effects are quite good. Local treatment options include anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child experiences severe ear pain, pain relievers may be given depending on the situation. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be administered. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a perforated eardrum, surgical treatment in a hospital is necessary. Parents should also pay attention to preventive measures to avoid recurrent otitis media.
