Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 3 years old. Recently, the child has been scratching his ears and saying they are itchy. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and the ears are buzzing. He also has a slight fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with pus discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating otitis media and can be selected as appropriate. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, analgesic drugs can be considered. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be administered. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. If there is a perforation of the eardrum, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
