Patient's question:
Female baby, only 8 years old, recently, her ears have been a bit painful, and occasionally, there is also a yellowish discharge. Additionally, she seems to have no appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with pus be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric otitis media, symptomatic treatment with some antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. While taking medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with pronounced ear pain symptoms, analgesic medications can be used. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be administered based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention at the hospital as soon as possible. If your child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to seek surgical treatment at the hospital in a timely manner. After the condition improves, it is recommended to engage in appropriate exercise to boost the immune system and prevent recurrence.
