Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 7 years old. This week, the child told me her ears are a bit painful. I noticed that the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow, and she also has some low fever. Please ask: How is it best to treat otitis media with purulent earwax in children?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric otitis media can use symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms. Local medication can be used, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be administered. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a high fever, antipyretics should be used with caution. If the condition is severe, prompt medical attention is necessary.In addition to these medication methods, if the child's condition worsens and develops a tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment in a hospital is required. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
