Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 6 years old, this week, the child has been scratching her ears and saying they are itchy. Upon noticing, the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish. Additionally, there is some low-grade fever. Please ask: How can otitis media with purulent earwax be effectively treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric otitis media can involve symptomatic medication based on the child's symptoms. Local medication options include anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with significant ear pain, analgesic medication can be used. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used appropriately. If the condition is severe, immediate medical attention is necessary. If your child experiences a tympanic membrane perforation, it is important to seek surgical treatment promptly at a hospital. At the same time, it is essential to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the condition recover as soon as possible.
