Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, in primary school. Recently, the child told me that his ears hurt a little. Additionally, it was found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, accompanied by a headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with purulent earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for the treatment of otitis media and can be selected as needed. They can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops, and pain relievers can be given to children based on their condition, especially when the ear pain is severe, to help alleviate the suffering. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child experiences serious conditions, such as a perforated eardrum, immediate medical treatment is necessary. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the doctor for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
