Patient's question:
Little girl, only 9 years old. Recently, the child has said her ears hurt. Additionally, her earwax is a bit thick and slightly yellow, and she has a buzzing sensation in her ears. She also has a low-grade fever. Please ask: How should pediatric otitis media with purulent discharge be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for the treatment of otitis media and can be selected as appropriate. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for children. If the ear pain is severe, pain relievers can be given accordingly. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child experiences severe conditions such as a ruptured eardrum, immediate medical treatment is necessary. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
