How should pediatric otitis media with purulent earwax be treated effectively?

Patient's question:

Boy, already 5 years old. Recently, his ears have been a bit painful. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How can otitis media with purulent earwax be treated effectively for children?

Doctor's answer:

To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor according to the symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain, it is recommended to give pain relievers based on the situation. If the child also has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child develops severe conditions such as a ruptured eardrum, immediate treatment is required. Parents should also pay attention to protective measures to prevent recurrent otitis media.
