Patient's question:
My little girl, she is 7 years old. These past few days, the child said her ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax. Also, it seems she has no appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How should middle earitis with pus be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs should be administered based on the child's symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relief medication can be given. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a perforated eardrum, surgical treatment in a hospital should be performed promptly. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is recommended.
