Patient's question:
Female baby, only 9 years old, recently her ears have been a bit painful. She noticed that there is a lot of yellow earwax. Additionally, she seems to have no appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with pus be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, the right medication should be administered based on the child's symptoms, such as anti-inflammatory drugs. Local treatment can also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the baby. In case of ear pain, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has a high fever, it is advisable to use fever-reducing medication in moderation. However, if the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute episodes or if the eardrum has perforated, surgical treatment should be carried out in a timely manner. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
