Patient's question:
Little girl, only 5 years old, this week, the child told me her ears are a bit painful. Additionally, sometimes there is yellow liquid flowing out, and it seems she has no appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with earwax and purulent discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications should be given based on the child's symptoms. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be administered. If the child has a fever, parents can give fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these medication and treatment methods, if the child experiences severe conditions, such as a perforated eardrum, timely medical treatment is necessary. Meanwhile, it is also important to arrange a balanced diet and proper rest for the child to help the illness recover as soon as possible.
