Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 4 years old. Lately, the child said his ears are itchy and painful. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and his ears are buzzing. He also has a slight fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with pus be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be used appropriately. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. Pain relievers can be given based on the child's condition, especially when ear pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a case of tympanic membrane perforation, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. Additionally, parents should pay attention to protective measures for the child to prevent recurrent middle ear infections.
