Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. Recently, he has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. I noticed that there is a lot of yellow earwax and a buzzing sensation in his ears. He also has a slightly low fever. Could you please advise on how to treat pus from otitis media in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, you can give children some symptomatic antibiotic medications. While taking the medication, you can also perform some local treatments, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has ear pain, you can give them some pain-relieving medication. If the child has a fever, you can provide them with fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child's condition is severe and involves a tympanic membrane perforation, surgery is required at the hospital. Pay attention to a light diet, and during the treatment period, a liquid diet is recommended.
