Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 5 years old. In the past few days, the child has said that his ears are itchy and painful, and yellow earwax has been flowing out. Additionally, his appetite is poor, and his throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How is it better to treat purulent otitis media in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotics, or use topical medication, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the baby. If the child's ear hurts more, you can also give some pain-relieving medication as needed. If the child also has a high fever, you can take some fever-reducing medication, but if it doesn't subside, you must seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media is prone to recurring. If there is a eardrum perforation, it is necessary to seek medical treatment promptly. During this time, make sure the child gets adequate rest and eats more fruits and vegetables.
