Patient's question:
Boys, they are one year old this week. The child told me that his ears were a bit painful. In the morning, there was some yellow earwax discharge, accompanied by headache and fever. Please ask: How should purulent otitis media in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on the symptoms. While taking medication, you can also perform some local treatments, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If high fever is present, medication should be used according to the child's symptoms. In severe cases, seek immediate medical attention at the hospital. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a perforated eardrum, timely hospital surgery is required. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent the symptoms from worsening due to catching a cold.
