Question
How can one effectively treat a child’s earwax purulent condition caused by otitis media? The little girl is 2 years old, and she has a bit of ear pain. The earwax is purulent and yellow, and she has a low-grade fever.
Answer
It is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions to administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child, while also using regional anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If ear pain is the main symptom, painkillers can be considered. If accompanied by fever, antipyretic medication can be given. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If an eardrum perforation occurs, it is advised to seek medical attention for surgery promptly. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain a light diet, focusing on fluids.
