Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old. In recent days, the child has been scratching her ears and saying they itch. In the morning, there is occasionally a yellowish liquid discharge. At the same time, she seems to have no appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with purulent earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric otitis media can use symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms. Local medication can be applied, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use pain-relieving medication to alleviate the symptoms. If the child also has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child develops a ruptured eardrum, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
