Patient's question:
My son is 5 years old. This week, the child has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, I noticed that the earwax was purulent, slightly yellow, and he also has poor appetite and a sore throat. I would like to ask: What is the most effective treatment for otitis media with pus discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs should be given based on the child's symptoms. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relief medication can also be given. If the child has a high fever, antipyretic drugs should be used cautiously. If the condition is serious, prompt medical attention is necessary. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if an eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional support to help them recover as soon as possible.
