Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, who is in primary school, this week, the child has been scratching his ears, saying they are itchy. In the morning, yellow earwax was flowing out, and his appetite was also poor, and his throat was uncomfortable. Please ask: What is the best treatment for otitis media with purulent earwax in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, first they can use some symptomatic antibiotic medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be used. For children with prominent ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be given. If the child has a fever, parents can provide fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. These methods are commonly used for treating otitis media currently. Additionally, if there is a perforation of the eardrum, it requires timely surgical treatment. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help them recover early.
