Patient's question:
My boy is 6 years old. Recently, his ears have been a bit painful. Additionally, his earwax is somewhat thick and yellowish. At the same time, his appetite is not good, and his throat feels uncomfortable. Could you please advise on how to treat otitis media with pus better?Doctor's answer:
To treat pediatric otitis media, parents can first give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local medication can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use pain-relieving medication to alleviate symptoms. If the child also has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media currently. Additionally, if there is a case of a tympanic membrane perforation, timely surgical treatment is required. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help them recover as soon as possible.
