Patient's question:
A 3-year-old girl has just started kindergarten. Recently, she told me her ears hurt a bit. I noticed that occasionally there's yellow liquid coming out, and her appetite is not good either. Her throat feels uncomfortable too. Could you please advise on how to treat otitis media with purulent earwax in children?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs should be given according to the child's symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be combined, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. In cases of ear pain, analgesics can be given to the child. If the child has a high fever, antipyretic drugs should be used cautiously. If the condition is serious, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used in the treatment of otitis media at present. In addition, if there is a case of tympanic membrane perforation, timely surgery is required. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
