Patient's question:
Girl 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:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication should be given based on the child's symptoms, or local medication can also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the baby. In cases of ear pain, analgesics can also be given to the child. If the child has a high fever, appropriate doses of fever-reducing medication should be used. If the condition is severe, immediate medical attention is necessary. In cases of repeated acute severe episodes or if the eardrum has already perforated, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
