Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 5 years old, recently, the child told me that her ears hurt a little. In the morning, there is occasionally yellow fluid discharge, accompanied by headache and fever. Please ask: How should purulent cerumen otitis media be treated in children.Doctor's answer:
Firstly, to treat pediatric otitis media, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local treatment can also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops. In cases of ear pain, children can be given pain relievers as well. Additionally, if fever is present, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are currently the most commonly used for treating otitis media. Furthermore, if there is a case of a perforated eardrum, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent the symptoms from worsening due to catching a cold.
