Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 4 years old. Recently, the child told me her ears hurt a bit. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and at the same time, her ears were buzzing, and she had a slightly low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with pus be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media, the main approach is the use of antibiotics. Medications can be used based on the child's symptoms, and the effectiveness is quite good. Local medication can also be administered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child primarily experiences ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate pain relief medication. If the child also has high fever, then fever-reducing medication should be used in moderation. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. These methods are commonly used for treating otitis media at present. Additionally, if there is a case of a perforated eardrum, surgical treatment should be administered in a timely manner. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
