Patient's question:
My boy, he's 7 years old. Recently, he has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. I noticed that there is a lot of yellow earwax, and his ears are buzzing. He also has a slight fever. Please ask: How can purulent otitis media in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
To treat otitis media effectively, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on your symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if a eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. During treatment, maintain a light diet and prioritize liquid foods.
