Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. This week, the child has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, yellow earwax has been leaking out, and at the same time, it seems that he has no appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with pus be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treatment should be based on the child's symptoms and appropriate anti-inflammatory medication should be administered. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used in conjunction. If the child experiences intense ear pain, pain relievers may be given based on the situation. If the child also has a high fever, antipyretic medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media tends to recur, so if there is a perforation of the eardrum, timely medical treatment is necessary. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their child for medical treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
