Question
How to diagnose and treat purulent earwax in children with otitis media?
Answer
The first step in treating pediatric otitis media is for parents to administer anti-inflammatory medication to their child. They can also apply topical anti-inflammatory ear drops locally, and provide painkillers as needed to alleviate ear pain. If the child has a perforated eardrum, immediate surgical treatment is required. During this period, it is important to keep warm and avoid exacerbating symptoms.
