Patient's question:
A 3-year-old girl has just started attending kindergarten. Recently, she has been scratching her ears and complaining of itching. Additionally, there is occasionally a yellowish discharge from her ears. She also has poor appetite and a sore throat. 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 such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be applied. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child also has a high fever, medication should be used based on their symptoms. In severe cases, please seek medical attention at the hospital as soon as possible. If your child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, they need to be taken to the hospital for surgery. After the condition improves, it is recommended to engage in appropriate exercise to boost the immune system and prevent recurrence.
