Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old. Recently, her ears have been a bit painful. She noticed that occasionally, there is a slight discharge of yellow liquid, and at the same time, her ears are buzzing, and she has a slightly low fever. Please ask: How is it better to treat purulent otitis media 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. This can be combined with some local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops for ear pain. For children with pronounced ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If this does not provide relief, it is essential to seek medical attention. If the patient develops severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to go to the hospital promptly for surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet consisting mainly of light foods. Additionally, it is important to get plenty of rest and avoid fatigue.
