Patient's question:
A 3-year-old girl just started kindergarten. This week, the child told me her ears hurt a bit. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and at the same time, she seemed to have no appetite and felt very weak. Please ask: How should purulent earwax in pediatric otitis media be treated?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor based on the symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. For children with significant ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. Additionally, if fever is present, you can take some fever-reducing drugs. In case of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is advised to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
