Patient's question:
Boy, he is one year old. Recently, his ears have been a bit sore, and occasionally there is also a yellowish discharge. Additionally, there is some low fever. Please ask: How should 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. Parents can use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. In case of ear pain, children can also be given pain relief medication. If the child also has a high fever, it is advisable to consider taking fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is crucial to seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media is prone to recurring, and if there is a case of a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to seek timely medical treatment. Parents should also pay attention to taking protective measures for their children to prevent the recurrence of otitis media.
