Patient's question:
Little girl, currently 8 years old. In recent days, the child has said her ears hurt, and there is also yellow earwax leakage. Additionally, she seems to have no appetite and feels very weak. I ask: How is it best to treat purulent otitis media in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is otitis media in children,antibiotics can be given to the child for symptomatic treatment, which is quite effective. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, please go to the hospital for immediate treatment. If your child has a problem with a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgery in a timely manner. Parents should also pay attention to taking protective measures for their children to prevent the otitis media from recurring.
