Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 4 years old. This week, the child said his ears are itchy and painful. Upon examination, there was a lot of yellow earwax. At the same time, he had a buzzing sensation in his ears and a slight fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with pus be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs for their children under the guidance of a doctor. These medications can help alleviate inflammation symptoms. Local treatment options include using anti-inflammatory ear drops for medication. If the child's ear pain is severe, they can also take pain-relieving medication in moderation. If the child has a high fever, medication should be administered based on their symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention at the hospital as soon as possible. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is advisable to have surgery as soon as possible. Parents should also take precautions to prevent the recurrence of otitis media.
