Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 6 years old, recently, the child's ears have been a bit painful, and also, yellow earwax has been leaking out, plus, the ears are buzzing, and there's a slight fever. Please ask: How is it better to treat otitis media with pus discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
The treatment for pediatric otitis media can involve using symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms. Local medications can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child experiences severe ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be taken in moderation. If the child also has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be administered. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. These methods are commonly used for treating otitis media currently. Additionally, if there is a perforation of the eardrum, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
