Patient's question:
My little girl is 3 years old. Recently, she said her ears are itchy and painful. Additionally, I noticed that her earwax is purulent, a bit yellow. Also, her appetite is poor, and her throat feels uncomfortable. Please advise: How should we treat otitis media with purulent earwax in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, first, you can use some symptomatic antibiotic medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child has ear pain, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If the child has a fever, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child has a problem with a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time for surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to pay attention to providing the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet that is primarily light. It is also important to get adequate rest and avoid fatigue.
