Patient's question:
Baby girl, currently 2 years old. Recently, her ears have been a bit sore. She noticed that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow. At the same time, her appetite is not good, and her throat is also uncomfortable. Please ask: How should the treatment be for the pus discharge of otitis media in children.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used in the treatment of otitis media and can be selected as appropriate. While taking medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If a child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate symptoms. If the child also has a high fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In cases of a tympanic membrane perforation, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. Parents should also pay attention to protective measures to prevent the recurrence of otitis media.
