Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 1 year old. Recently, the child said his ears hurt. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and his ears were buzzing. He has a slight fever. Please ask: How should the treatment be carried out if the child has otitis media with pus discharge?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric otitis media first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medications. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear hurts more, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has a fever, parents can give them some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media currently. Additionally, if there is a eardrum perforation, timely surgical treatment is required. During this period, ensure the child gets sufficient rest and eats more vegetables and fruits.
