Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 2 years old. Lately, the child said her ears feel itchy and painful. In the morning, some yellow earwax was discharged, and it was accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should purulent earwax from otitis media in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on the symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with pronounced ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If high fever is present, medication should be administered based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical treatment promptly. Otitis media has a characteristic of recurring, and if there is a tympanic membrane perforation, it needs to be treated in a timely manner. While undergoing treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
