How to deal with pus flowing from a child's ear

Patient's question:

What should I do if my child's ear is draining pus? Does a fever in children lead to a decrease in body temperature after receiving an injection?
Medical history and treatment effectiveness: None
Expected help: Does a fever in children lead to a decrease in body temperature after receiving an injection?

Doctor's answer:

Clinical diagnostic symptoms of chronic otitis media:
1. Ear discharge: This is the main and most common symptom of the disease. It can be mucoid, mucopurulent, or pure purulent. Non-dangerous discharge is relatively thin and odorless. Dangerous discharge is less frequent but thicker, mostly pure purulent, and accompanied by a foul odor.
2. Epilepsy: The severity varies, and since it is often unilateral, it is easily overlooked. This type of epilepsy tends to correlate with the progression of the disease, meaning that the more severe the inflammation, the more pronounced the epilepsy. It is usually conductive hearing loss.
3. In addition to the above symptoms, if symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, facial paralysis, severe headache, chills, and high fever reappear, it indicates that complications have occurred again. Immediate re-examination in the hospital is necessary. Based on your condition, intravenous antibiotic treatment can be administered. Wishing you well.
