Patient's question:
My little boy is 1 year old. Recently, he said his ears were itchy and painful. I noticed that there was a lot of yellow earwax. He also had a headache and fever. Please advise: How should I treat otitis media with purulent earwax in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it's pediatric otitis media,, which is quite effective. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. Pain relievers can also be given according to the child's condition, especially when the ear pain is severe, as they can help alleviate the pain. If the child also has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the condition is severe, it should be seen by a doctor as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or a eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner.
