Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 5 years old, recently, the child told me her ears are a bit painful. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and she hears a buzzing sound in her ears. She also has a slight fever. Please ask: How to treat purulent otitis media in children.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the current methods and medications used in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose based on symptoms, which may include local medication or the use of anti-inflammatory ear drops. If a child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child also has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used appropriately. In severe cases, immediate medical attention is necessary. The above are common treatment methods. However, if a child exhibits symptoms of a tympanic membrane perforation, they should be taken to the hospital for surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, maintain a light diet, and ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
