How to treat otitis media with discharge in children better

Patient's question:

Boy, who is already 7 years old, has been telling me for these few days that his ears are a bit painful. He noticed that there is some yellow earwax coming out. At the same time, his appetite isn't good, and his throat feels uncomfortable. I would like to ask: What is the best way to treat otitis media with pus 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 inflammatory symptoms. Local treatment options include using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, analgesic medications can be given as needed. In cases of high fever, antipyretic drugs should be used in moderation. If the condition is severe, prompt medical attention is required. The above are common treatment methods, but if the child develops a symptom of eardrum perforation, immediate hospitalization and surgical treatment are necessary. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
