Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. Recently, her ears have been a bit painful, and occasionally, yellow fluid also flows out. Additionally, she experiences headaches and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with purulent earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local medication can also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the child. If the child experiences ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. For children with fever, fever-reducing medications can be administered. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a ruptured eardrum, surgical treatment in a hospital is necessary. At the same time, it is important to provide the child with a balanced diet and proper rest habits to aid in early recovery.
