Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old. Recently, the child has been scratching her ears and saying they itch. In the morning, yellow earwax has been flowing out, and her ears are buzzing slightly. She also has a low fever. Please ask: How is otitis media with pus treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric otitis media primarily involves the use of antibiotic medications. Symptomatic medications can be used based on the child's symptoms, which are quite effective. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be applied, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, it is recommended to use pain-relieving medications to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a high fever, antipyretic drugs should be used judiciously. In severe cases, prompt medical attention is necessary.In addition to the above medication treatments, if the child experiences severe conditions, such as a tympanic membrane perforation, immediate medical treatment is required. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensuring sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
