Patient's question:
A 3-year-old girl just started kindergarten. Recently, she said her ears hurt. She noticed yellow earwax coming out, and her ears were buzzing. She also had a slight fever. Could you please ask: How should otitis media with pus be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with pronounced ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the condition is accompanied by high fever, medication should be administered based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. Otitis media is known to have a recurring nature. If there is a condition of a ruptured eardrum, it is necessary to seek medical treatment promptly. Parents should also pay attention to taking preventive measures to avoid recurrent inflammation of otitis media.
