Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 8 years old, has been scratching his ears recently and says they are itchy. In the morning, there was yellow earwax discharge, and he also has poor appetite and a sore throat. Question: How should otitis media with purulent earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is otitis media in children, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local medication can also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the baby. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the earache is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child experiences severe conditions, such as a perforated eardrum, immediate medical treatment is necessary. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a balanced diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
