Patient's question:
My little girl is 8 years old. This week, the child said her ears feel itchy and painful. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and slightly yellow, and her ears were buzzing. She also had a low fever. Please advise: How should the treatment for otitis media with pus be carried out for children.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used in the treatment of otitis media and can be selected as appropriate. Local medication can be administered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents can appropriately give some pain relievers to alleviate it. If the child also has a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if an eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and to pay attention to getting enough rest to avoid fatigue.
