Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 6 years old, these past few days, the child's ears have been a bit painful, and the earwax is a bit thick and slightly yellow. Additionally, it seems she has 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, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications should be given based on the child's symptoms. Local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the child's ear pain is severe, a moderate amount of pain-relieving medication can be used. If high fever is present, medications should be administered based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek hospital treatment as soon as possible. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child exhibits symptoms of a perforated eardrum, timely hospital surgical treatment is required. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
