Patient's question:
The child was born only a few days ago, and recently, for some unknown reason, they have been scratching their ears frequently. Could you please explain what happened when there was pus flowing from their ears a few days ago?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to what you mentioned, ear discharge is a common symptom of otitis media, which is divided into acute and chronic types. It is recommended to go to a formal ophthalmology and otolaryngology hospital for a definitive diagnosis and then treat it accordingly. Do not take medication on your own without a doctor's guidance, as this may lead to changes in the condition.Regarding the child's situation, it is likely caused by vocal cord congestion following an upper respiratory infection and excessive crying, leading to hoarseness. You can give the child some anti-inflammatory medication for symptomatic relief, while it is essential to avoid letting the child cry excessively.
