Patient's question:
Boys, already 7 years old, these days, the child told me that his ears hurt a little. Also, he found that the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How is it effective to treat otitis media in children with purulent earwax?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it's otitis media in children, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics can be given to the child, which is relatively effective. Ear secretion bacterial culture can be performed, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used based on the test results. If the child has severe ear pain, it is recommended to use pain relievers according to the situation. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used appropriately. If it is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media currently. Additionally, if there is a case of tympanic membrane perforation, it requires timely surgical treatment. Pay attention to a light diet during the day, and a liquid diet should be the main focus during treatment.
