Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 8 years old. These days, her ears are a bit sore, and there is a lot of yellow earwax. Additionally, she has a headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with pus be treated in children for better recovery.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them according to symptoms. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be applied, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If a child's ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, it is recommended to use some pain-relieving medication to alleviate symptoms. If the child also has a high fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, medical attention must be sought promptly. Otitis media is characterized by recurrent attacks, and if there is a perforation of the eardrum, prompt treatment is required. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
