Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 4 years old. In recent days, the child said his ears were itchy and painful. In the morning, it was found that the earwax was purulent, a little yellow, accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How is it better to treat purulent otitis media in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, they can first use symptomatic antibiotic medication, or local medication, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, analgesic drugs can be considered. If the child has a high fever, antipyretic drugs should be used accordingly. If it is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Otitis media has the characteristic of recurring. If there is a eardrum perforation, it needs to be treated promptly. Pay attention to a light diet, and during treatment, a liquid diet should be the main focus.
