Question
How should a child with otitis media and purulent earwax be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
When treating such diseases, you can give the child symptomatic antibiotic medication. Additionally, regional treatment can be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child to treat ear pain. For children with obvious pain symptoms, painkillers can be used. If the child has a fever, parents can give the child antipyretic medication. In severe cases, seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child has an eardrum perforation, immediate medical treatment and surgery are required. Pay attention to a light diet in daily life, and consume liquid foods mainly during treatment.
