Patient's question:
Boys, already 7 years old, this week, the child told me that his ears are a little painful, and also, there is a lot of yellow earwax. Also, his appetite is not good, and his throat is also uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media with purulent earwax be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used for clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose based on symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be used. When the child's ear pain is severe, a small amount of pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be given, or the child should be taken to the hospital immediately. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to seek surgical treatment at the hospital promptly. While being treated, it is important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
