Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, attending primary school. Recently, his ears have been a bit painful. Additionally, his earwax is somewhat thick and yellowish, and he seems to have no appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How is the treatment for otitis media with pus discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children under the guidance of a doctor. These can help alleviate inflammatory symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child experiences ear pain, pain relievers can be given. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a ruptured eardrum, timely hospitalization for surgical treatment is necessary. After the condition improves, it is advisable to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
