Patient's question:
Female baby, only 1 year old. This week, the child has a slightly sore ear. She notices that the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow, and the ear is buzzing slightly. There's also a low-grade fever.: How should pediatric otitis media with purulent earwax be treated.Doctor's answer:
It is appropriate to use some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs. If the child's condition is serious, local treatments can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with obvious ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be administered. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If your child has a problem with a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to visit the hospital promptly for surgical treatment. During the treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to help them recover as soon as possible.
