Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 6 years old. This week, the child said his ears hurt. Also, occasionally there is yellowish fluid leaking out. Additionally, his ears buzz, and he has a slightly low fever. Question: How should pus from otitis media be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child has ear pain, painkillers can be given. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is recommended to seek surgical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a light diet. Additionally, plenty of rest should be ensured to avoid fatigue.
