Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 2 years old, this week, the child said his ears hurt. Additionally, there was occasionally some yellow fluid leaking out, and his appetite wasn't good either. His throat also felt uncomfortable. Please ask: How to treat otitis media with earwax and pus-like discharge in children.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents, under the guidance of a doctor, choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to alleviate inflammation symptoms. These medications can be combined with local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. When a child experiences severe ear pain, they may also be given pain-relieving medication in moderation. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing drugs can be administered. In more severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. These are common treatment methods, but if the child develops a perforated eardrum, surgical treatment in a hospital is necessary. Parents should also take precautions to prevent recurrent middle ear infections.
