Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. This week, my child's ears have been a bit painful. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and at the same time, it seems like he has no appetite and is very weak. I would like to ask: How should acute otitis media with purulent earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child experiences severe ear pain, pain relievers may be given based on the situation. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used cautiously. If the condition is serious, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media is characterized by recurrent episodes. If there is a tympanic membrane perforation, it is important to seek treatment promptly. During this time, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
