Patient's question:
My little girl is 8 years old. Recently, she has been complaining that her ears are itchy and painful. Additionally, there is occasionally a yellowish discharge, and she seems to have little appetite and is very weak. Please advise: How should we treat otitis media with purulent earwax in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, first they can use some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Local medication treatment can also be chosen, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a fever, parents can give them some fever-reducing medications or take them to the hospital immediately. Otitis media is prone to recurring, and if there is a eardrum perforation, it needs to be treated promptly. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take the child to the hospital for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care work.
