Patient's question:
Boy, he is already one year old. This week, the child said his ears felt itchy and painful. Upon examination, it was found that the earwax was purulent, slightly yellow, and his appetite was also poor, with a sore throat. Please ask: How is it effective to treat otitis media with purulent discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs for their children under the guidance of a doctor, which can help alleviate inflammatory symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. Depending on the child's condition, pain relievers can be given, especially when ear pain is severe, to help relieve discomfort. If the child has a high fever, it is advisable to use some fever-reducing medication in moderation. However, if the condition is serious, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. But if the child develops a ruptured eardrum, it is important to visit the hospital for surgical treatment promptly. During treatment, it is recommended to maintain a light diet and consume primarily liquid food.
