Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. Recently, he told me that his ears are a bit painful, and there is also yellow earwax discharge. Additionally, his appetite is not good, and his throat feels uncomfortable. Could you please advise on how to treat otitis media with pus discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication should be given based on the child's symptoms. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be administered. If the child has a fever, parents can give fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If your child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to seek medical treatment and undergo surgery promptly. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and mainly consume liquid food during the treatment period.
