Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old. In recent days, her ears have been a bit painful. Additionally, there is some yellow earwax discharge, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with purulent earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate pain-relieving medication should be given. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used accordingly. If the condition is severe, prompt medical attention is necessary. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child exhibits symptoms of a perforated eardrum, it is essential to seek medical treatment for surgery as soon as possible. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
