Question
Dear parents, our 1-year-old daughter has been complaining of ear pain recently. We’ve noticed that the earwax is purulent and yellow, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should we treat otitis media with yellow, purulent earwax in children?
Answer
The first step in treating pediatric otitis media is to administer anti-inflammatory medication. If the condition is severe, regional treatment can be combined, such as antibacterial ear drops. For ear pain, painkillers can be given, and if there is a high fever, antipyretics should be used in moderation. If the condition is serious, medical treatment should be sought as soon as possible. These methods are currently commonly used to treat otitis media. In cases of tympanic membrane perforation, timely surgical treatment is required. It is recommended that parents pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment for their children early, and also pay attention to relevant protection and health care in daily life.
