How should otitis media with pus discharge be treated effectively in children?

Patient's question:

My son, who is 7 years old, has been scratching his ears recently, saying they itch. Upon examination, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and he also feels a buzzing sensation in his ears and has a slightly low fever. Please advise: How can pus discharge from otitis media in children be treated effectively?

Doctor's answer:

To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used in combination. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relief medication can be given. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if the eardrum has already perforated, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. Pay attention to a light diet during the day, and consume mostly liquid foods during treatment.
