Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started primary school. This week, the child said his ears felt itchy and painful. He noticed that yellow earwax was leaking out, accompanied by a headache and fever. Please ask: How is it best to treat otitis media with pus in children?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on the symptoms. Local treatment can be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops. In cases of ear pain, children can also be given pain relievers. Additionally, if a fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible.Besides the above drug treatments, if the child shows severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, timely medical treatment is necessary. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate physical activity to boost the immune system and prevent recurrence.
