Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 6 years old, this week, the child told me her ears hurt a bit. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and yellowish, and there was a buzzing sound in her ears. She also had a slight fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with pus discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, anti-inflammatory drugs can be used symptomatically, or local medications can be applied. For example, inflammatory ear drops can be used for the baby. If the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relief medication can be given. If the child also has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child exhibits symptoms of a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. During treatment, attention should also be paid to arranging a light diet for the child and enhancing nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
