Patient's question:
My little girl is 2 years old. Recently, she told me her ear is a bit painful, and I noticed that occasionally there's some yellowish liquid coming out. At the same time, she also has a low fever. Could you please advise on how to treat otitis media with purulent earwax in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used for the clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose based on symptoms. Local drug treatment is possible, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used for treatment. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media at present. Additionally, if there is a case of eardrum perforation, timely surgical treatment is required. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
