Patient's question:
Girl baby, 3 years old, just started kindergarten. Recently, the child said her ears are itchy and painful. Additionally, the earwax is slightly thick and yellow, accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should the treatment be for purulent earwax in pediatric otitis media.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is otitis media in children, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate analgesics should be given. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used in moderation. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child experiences severe conditions such as a perforated eardrum, timely treatment is necessary. During treatment, it is also important to arrange for the child to have a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to help with early recovery.
