Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. Recently, the child said that his ears are itchy and painful. It was noticed that occasionally there is also yellow liquid flowing out, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with earwax and pus-like discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, anti-inflammatory drugs can be used symptomatically. Local medical treatment can be applied, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child's ear hurts more, appropriate pain-relieving medication can also be given. If the child also has a high fever, painkillers can be taken on a case-by-case basis. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If your child has a problem with a ruptured eardrum, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgery in a timely manner. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
