Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 2 years old. This week, the child told me his ears hurt a bit. Additionally, there is occasional yellow fluid discharge, and sometimes his ears make a buzzing sound. He also has a slight fever. Could you please advise on how to treat otitis media with pus discharge in children effectively?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is otitis media in children, can be given some antibiotics to the child, which is relatively effective. The bacterial culture of ear secretions can be performed, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used according to the test results. When the child's ear pain is severe, a small amount of pain-relieving medication can also be used. If the child has a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. If it is serious, it is best to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above are relatively common treatment methods. However, if the child has a symptom of eardrum perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment in time. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and getting enough rest.
