Patient's question:
A 3-year-old girl just started attending kindergarten. Recently, she said her ears hurt, and it was noticed that yellow earwax was leaking out. At the same time, she seems to have little appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How should purulent earwax from otitis media in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on the symptoms. Local treatment can be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child has ear pain, you can also give them some pain relievers. If the child also has a fever, parents can give them some fever-reducing medications. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the patient experiences severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, surgical treatment at the hospital is necessary. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and eats more vegetables and fruits.
