Patient's question:
Little girl, currently 8 years old. This week, the child said her ears hurt. Additionally, there is occasionally yellow fluid discharge, and her ears are buzzing. She has a slightly low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with purulent earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, they can use anti-inflammatory medication accordingly. While taking the medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child’s ear pain is severe, it is also appropriate to use some pain-relieving medication in moderation. If the child has a high fever, they should take fever-reducing medication in moderation. If the condition is severe, prompt medical attention is necessary. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child’s condition worsens and results in a eardrum perforation, they will need to go to the hospital for surgical treatment. Parents should also pay attention to preventive measures to avoid recurrent otitis media.
