Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 1 year old. In recent days, the child told me his ears are a bit painful. In the morning, there is occasionally yellow liquid flowing out, accompanied by headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with earwax pus be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used in clinical treatment for pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. Bacterial culture of ear secretions can be performed, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used according to the test results. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate pain relief medication. If the child also has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the patient develops severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, strengthen nutritional supplementation, and help them recover sooner.
