How to treat a child's ear infection with pus

Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 4 years old. In recent days, her ears have been a bit sore. She noticed that the earwax is slightly thick and yellowish. Additionally, she has a headache and fever. Please ask: How should pus from otitis media be treated in children?

Doctor's answer:

To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. You can also perform a bacterial culture of ear secretions and use anti-inflammatory ear drops based on the test results. If your child's ear pain is severe, you can moderately use some pain-relieving medication. If your child also has a high fever, you can consider taking fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If your child develops a perforated eardrum, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take their children to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures during daily life.
