Patient's question:
My little girl is 2 years old this year. This week, the child said her ears are itchy and painful. She noticed that there is a lot of yellow earwax and the ears are buzzing. She also has a slightly low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with pus discharge be diagnosed and 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. Local treatment can be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, it is advisable to use some pain-relieving medication to alleviate the symptoms. If the child also has a high fever, pain relievers can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child's condition is severe and a eardrum perforation occurs, surgical treatment in a hospital will be necessary.
Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this condition seriously, seek medical treatment for their child as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
