Patient's question:
A 11-and-a-half-month-old child has had otitis media for 1 month. The symptoms are pus discharge from both ears. The doctors who examined them have all said they've never seen it!Doctor's answer:
Generally, oral antibiotics are used for treatment, and if necessary, nasal or nasopharyngeal secretion aspiration may be performed. After 48 to 72 hours of treatment, if ear pain or fever does not improve, doctors usually consider changing the antibiotic. If the pus is very severe, it may be necessary to incise the tympanic membrane to drain the pus and perform bacterial culture for further confirmation of the condition. Otitis media in children causes greater harm to patients, and it is recommended that patients seek timely treatment from a specialist under the guidance of a doctor. Daily activities can be carried out appropriately, and attention should be paid to preventing internal heat. We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
