Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old. This week, her ears have been a bit painful. She noticed it, and occasionally, there was also some yellow liquid leaking out. Additionally, her ears were buzzing, and she had a slight fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with purulent earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on the symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. Depending on the child's condition, you can also give some pain relievers, especially when the earache is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child has a fever, you can give them some fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. In addition to these medication methods, if the child's condition is severe and results in a tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment in the hospital is required. Parents should also pay attention to protecting the child to prevent the otitis media from recurring.
