Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. Recently, the child said he has ear pain. In the morning, there was yellow earwax discharge, and he also had some low-grade fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with pus discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Local medication can also be applied, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain, it is recommended to administer pain relievers based on the situation. If the child also has high fever, appropriate doses of fever-reducing medication should be used. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if a eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
