Patient's question:
My son is 5 years old. Recently, he has had some ear pain, and there is a lot of yellow earwax. Additionally, he seems to have little appetite and feels very weak. Could you please advise on how to diagnose and treat otitis media with pus discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
If the child gets otitis media, first use some symptomatic antibiotic drugs. Local drug treatment can be used, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge symptoms are severe, it is recommended to choose some pain-relieving drugs to relieve symptoms. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing drugs should be used appropriately. If it is serious, it is necessary to seek medical treatment as soon as possible. The above are commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
