Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old. Recently, the child told me her ears are a bit painful. I noticed that there's a lot of yellow earwax, and also a buzzing sound in her ears. Additionally, she has a slight fever. I'd like to ask: If the child has otitis media with pus discharge, how should it be treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be used appropriately. Local treatments can also be applied, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for children. Pain relievers can be given to children if they have ear pain. If the child also has a high fever, they can take fever-reducing medication if deemed necessary. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media has a tendency to recur. If there is a perforation of the eardrum, it is necessary to seek medical treatment in a timely manner. Finally, we hope parents can take this disease seriously, take their children to seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
