Patient's question:
Female baby, only 2 years old. This week, the child has been scratching her ears, saying they itch. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax. At the same time, she seems to have little appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with pus discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric otitis media can involve using symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms, or it can be combined with some local treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. Pain relievers can also be given according to the child's condition, especially when the ear pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. Additionally, if the child has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if a eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
