Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 5 years old, these days, the child said her ears are itchy and painful. Upon observation, it was found that the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow, and it seems that she has little appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with pus discharge in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Currently in clinical practice, the treatment of otitis media in children primarily relies on antibiotics. Symptomatic medications can be used based on the child's symptoms, and the effects are quite good. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. In cases of ear pain, pain relief medication can be given to the child. If the child has a fever, parents can provide fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
