Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 1 year old. Recently, his ears have been a bit painful. Additionally, there is occasionally a yellow liquid discharge, and it seems he has no appetite and is also very weak. Please ask: What is the best way to treat otitis media with purulent discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the current methods and medications used in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose according to symptoms. Local drug treatment can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the condition is accompanied by high fever, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. If the child experiences multiple acute severe episodes or if a tympanic membrane perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
