Patient's question:
Little girl, only 4 years old, this week, the child told me her ears are a bit painful. In the morning, occasionally there is also yellowish fluid discharge, accompanied by headache and fever. Please ask: How to treat otitis media with earwax pus-like discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, first you can use some symptomatic antibiotics. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain, it is recommended to give some pain relievers based on the situation. Also, if there is a fever, you can take some fever-reducing medication. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there is a perforation of the eardrum, parents can consider surgical treatment for the child. After the condition improves, it is recommended to take the child for appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
