Patient's question:
Baby girl, currently 3 years old. In the past few days, the child has said her ears hurt. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and she also seemed to have no appetite and was very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with pus be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, the right anti-inflammatory medication should be given based on the child's symptoms. An ear secretion bacterial culture can be performed, and based on the test results, anti-inflammatory ear drops should be used. If the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relief medication can also be given. If the child has a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if the eardrum has already ruptured, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and eats plenty of fruits and vegetables.
