Patient's question:
Girl baby, 3 years old, just started kindergarten. This week, the child said her ears hurt. Additionally, there was occasionally yellow fluid leaking out, accompanied by headaches and fever. Please ask: How can otitis media with pus-like earwax be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of otitis media in children, the main approach is the use of antibiotics. Symptomatic medications can be used based on the child's symptoms, and the effectiveness is quite good. Local treatment can also be administered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If a child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use pain-relieving medications to alleviate the symptoms. If the child also has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. All of these are common treatment methods. However, if a child develops a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to visit the hospital for surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is advised to engage in appropriate exercise to boost the immune system and prevent recurrence.
