Patient's question:
My little girl is 1 year old. Recently, she told me her ears are a bit painful. I noticed she has a lot of yellow earwax and some low fever. Could you please advise how to treat otitis media with purulent earwax effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, they can first use some symptomatic antibiotic medication. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a perforated eardrum, they need to be taken to the hospital for surgical treatment. Finally, it is hoped that parents can pay attention to this disease and take their child to the doctor for early treatment.。
