Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. This week, the child told me his ears are a bit painful. In the morning, there is occasionally a yellow discharge from his ears. Additionally, his ears are buzzing, and he has a slight fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with pus discharge be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents, under the guidance of a doctor, choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local drug treatment can be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child's ear pain is severe, they can also be given pain-relieving medication as needed. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child exhibits symptoms of a tympanic membrane perforation, timely hospital treatment is required. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
