How to diagnose and treat pus from a child's middle ear infection

Patient's question:

Boy, already 4 years old, this week, the child has been scratching his ears and says they are itchy. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and it seems like he has no appetite and is also weak. Please ask: How to diagnose and treat otitis media with pus discharge in children?

Doctor's answer:

When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. While taking medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has ear pain, appropriate analgesics should be given as needed. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child develops a perforated eardrum, surgical treatment should be sought in a hospital in a timely manner. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and focus on a liquid diet during the treatment period.
