Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 3 years old. This week, her ears have been a bit painful. In the morning, there's occasionally some yellow liquid coming out, and her appetite isn't good either. Her throat feels uncomfortable. I'd like to ask: How can otitis media with earwax and pus be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric otitis media first, parents can give their children some anti-inflammatory drugs. Local treatment can be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with significant earache symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. Additionally, if the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medication. In case of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to visit the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
