Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. Recently, he told me that his ears hurt a bit, and there was yellow earwax coming out. Also, his appetite is not good, and his throat feels uncomfortable. Could you please tell me how to treat otitis media with pus in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication should be given according to the child's symptoms. Local drug treatment can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If your child has a eardrum perforation, it is necessary to seek immediate medical treatment and surgery. Pay attention to a light diet, and during treatment, a liquid diet should be primarily followed.
