Patient's question:
A 3-year-old girl just started attending kindergarten. Recently, her ears have been a bit painful. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax. At the same time, it seems she has no appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with purulent earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can be used in conjunction, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a punctured eardrum, they should seek hospital treatment promptly. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent worsening of symptoms due to colds.
