Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 6 years old. In recent days, the child has had some ear pain, noticed that occasionally there is also yellowish fluid discharge. At the same time, his appetite is not good, and his throat is uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media with pus discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
For treating pediatric otitis media, parents can first give their child anti-inflammatory medications, or use local medications, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops. In case of ear pain, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If high fever accompanies the symptoms, medication should be used based on the child's condition. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. If there is a possibility of a tympanic membrane perforation, parents may consider surgical treatment for their child. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take their child to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
