Patient's question:
Boy, already 4 years old, this week, the child said his ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How is it effective to treat otitis media with purulent earwax in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications should be given based on the child's symptoms. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate pain relief medication to alleviate the discomfort. Additionally, if the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child develops a perforated eardrum, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a focus on a light diet. Rest is also essential, and fatigue should be avoided.
