Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 5 years old. This week, the child said his ears hurt. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and slightly yellow. At the same time, he also had a headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with purulent discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If the child gets otitis media, first you can use some symptomatic antibiotics. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the symptoms are mainly ear pain, pain-relieving drugs can be considered. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing drugs can be taken. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child shows severe conditions, such as a perforated eardrum, immediate medical treatment is required. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and focus on liquid food during the treatment period.
