Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 1 year old, this week, the child said her ears hurt. She noticed it and found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow. At the same time, it seems she has no appetite and is also very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with pus discharge be treated 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 alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local treatment options include using anti-inflammatory ear drops, and pain relievers can be given to children, especially when they have severe ear pain, to help relieve the discomfort. If the child also has a high fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication, but if the fever persists, it is crucial to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to these medication treatments, if the child's condition is severe and involves a ruptured eardrum, surgery may be required at the hospital. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a balanced diet and rest schedule for the child to help them recover as soon as possible.
