Patient's question:

Female baby, currently 2 years old. Recently, her ears have been a bit painful. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and the ears are buzzing. She has a slight fever. Please ask: What is the appropriate treatment for otitis media with purulent earwax in children?

Doctor's answer:

In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate pain-relieving medication can also be administered. If high fever is present, medications should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. The above methods are commonly used in the treatment of otitis media at present. Additionally, if there is a case of a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to undergo surgery promptly. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring the child to the hospital for early medical treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
