Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. Recently, his ears have been a bit painful. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and yellow, and his appetite has also been poor, with a sore throat. Please ask: How should otitis media with purulent discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications. Local medications can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops, or pain-relieving drugs can be given based on the child's condition, especially when ear pain is severe, to help alleviate the suffering. If the child has a high fever, appropriate doses of fever-reducing medication should be used. In severe cases, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to the above drug treatments, if a child exhibits severe conditions, such as a punctured eardrum, immediate medical treatment is necessary. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children for early medical treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
