Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, attending primary school. Recently, the child has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. It has been noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and slightly yellow, accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with pus discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric otitis media first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local treatment can also be applied, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate analgesics should be given. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be administered based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical treatment immediately. In addition to the above medication and treatment methods, if the child experiences severe conditions, such as a perforated eardrum, prompt treatment is required. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
