Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 2 years old. Recently, the child told me her ears are a bit painful. She noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, and there is a buzzing sensation in her ears. She also has a slight fever. Question: How is the treatment for purulent otitis media in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Local medication can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use some pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child also has a fever, you can take some fever-reducing medication. If the condition is severe and results in a perforated eardrum, medical treatment, including surgery, is necessary. Additionally, parents should pay attention to protecting the child to prevent recurrent otitis media.
