Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 3 years old. This week, the child said her ears hurt. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and slightly yellow. At the same time, her appetite wasn't good, and her throat felt uncomfortable. Please ask: How should pus-like earwax from otitis media in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic medications are commonly used for treating otitis media and can be selected as needed. While taking medication, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be applied. If the child’s ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relief medication may be given. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used cautiously. In severe cases, prompt medical attention is necessary. Multiple episodes of acute severe otitis media or a perforated eardrum require surgical treatment. Lastly, parents are encouraged to take this condition seriously, seek medical treatment early for their children, and pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
