Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in elementary school. Recently, the child has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. Upon examination, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and the ears are buzzing. There is also a slightly low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with purulent earwax be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, anti-inflammatory drugs can be used according to the symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to give pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has a high fever, antipyretic drugs should be used appropriately. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to supplement the child with more nutrients, with a light diet. It is also necessary to pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue.
