Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, attending primary school. Recently, the child has complained of ear pain. It has been noticed that there is a lot of yellow earwax, and the ears are buzzing. There is also a slightly low fever. Question: How should otitis media with pus discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric otitis media, can be given some antibiotics to the child, which is relatively effective. Local drug treatment can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with obvious ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the condition is serious, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child has a eardrum perforation, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgery as soon as possible. During this time, make sure the child gets adequate rest and eats more fruits and vegetables.
