Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 7 years old. Recently, the child told me her ears are a bit painful. She noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellow, and also, there's a buzzing sound in her ears. She has a low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with pus discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is otitis media in children, symptomatic treatment with some antibiotics can be given to the child, which is quite effective. Local medication can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate symptoms. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical treatment immediately. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media currently. Additionally, if there is a perforation of the eardrum, it requires timely surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
