Patient's question:
A 3-year-old girl just started kindergarten. Recently, she has been scratching her ears and saying they are itchy. Additionally, her earwax is a bit thick and yellowish. She also has a headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with pus be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets an ear infection, first of all, they can take some symptomatic antibiotics. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. For children with prominent ear pain symptoms, they can take some pain-relieving medication. If the child has a fever, parents can give them some fever-reducing medication. If the condition is severe and there is a eardrum perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment. Finally, it is hoped that parents can pay attention to this disease and take their child to the doctor for early treatment. Also, they should pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
