Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. This week, the child told me that his ears are a bit painful. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and he also had a headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with pus be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the current methods and medications used in clinical treatment of otitis media in children. Parents can choose them according to symptoms. While taking medication, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be applied. If the child has ear pain, pain relievers can be given. If the child also has a high fever, antipyretics can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if a eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed immediately. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to seek medical treatment early, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
