Question
My son is 3 years old and has been experiencing ear pain, purulent earwax, yellow discharge, along with headaches and fever this week. What are the treatment methods for pediatric otitis media with purulent earwax?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be used in appropriate amounts, along with local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain with purulent discharge, it is recommended to use painkillers to alleviate symptoms. When the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication should be taken, and if the condition is severe, medical attention should be sought promptly. If an eardrum perforation occurs, immediate medical attention and surgery should be sought, allowing the child to rest adequately during this time and consume more vegetables and fruits.
