Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, has started elementary school. In recent days, the child has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. Additionally, there is yellow earwax discharge, accompanied by headaches and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with pus discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To treat otitis media effectively, consult a doctor and choose appropriate anti-inflammatory medications under their guidance. Local treatment options include using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, give pain-relieving medication as needed. If the child has a high fever, use antipyretic medication accordingly. In severe cases, seek medical attention promptly. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to visit the hospital for surgical treatment. During treatment, maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
