Patient's question:
Boy, already 5 years old. In recent days, the child has been scratching his ears and saying they itch. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax, accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How is it best to treat otitis media with pus discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric otitis media can involve using symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms. Bacterial culture of ear can be performed, and anti-inflammatory ear drops may be used based on test results. For children with pronounced ear pain, analgesic medications can be applied. Additionally, if a fever is present, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media is known for its recurrent nature, and if a tympanic membrane perforation is present, timely treatment is necessary. Meanwhile, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help expedite recovery.
