Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, has started elementary school. Recently, his ears have been a bit painful. He noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish. Additionally, he seems to have little appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How can otitis media with pus discharge be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Treatment should be based on the child's symptoms, with appropriate anti-inflammatory medication given. Local treatment options include using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used in moderation. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media is prone to recurrence, and if there is a tympanic membrane perforation, it should be treated in a timely manner. After recovery, it is recommended to engage in appropriate exercise to boost the immune system and prevent recurrence.
