Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 5 years old, recently, the child told me her ears hurt a little. Additionally, I noticed that her earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, and at the same time, her ears were buzzing, and she had a slight fever. Please ask: What is the best treatment for purulent earwax in children with otitis media?Doctor's answer:
Currently in clinical practice, the primary treatment for pediatric otitis media involves antibiotics. Symptomatic medications can be used based on the child's symptoms, and the results are quite effective. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the child. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers may be given. If the child has a high fever, antipyretics should be used in moderation. In severe cases, prompt medical attention is necessary. If the patient develops severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, surgical intervention in a hospital setting is required. Parents should also take precautions to prevent recurrence of otitis media.
