Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, in elementary school. This week, the child's ears have been a bit sore. In the morning, yellow earwax has been flowing out. Additionally, it seems he has no appetite and feels very weak.：How should otitis media with pus discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child's ear pain is severe, a small amount of pain-relieving medication can be used appropriately. If the child has fever symptoms, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a eardrum perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment promptly. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and a liquid diet should be primarily consumed during the treatment period.
