Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. Recently, the child told me that his ears are a bit sore. In the morning, there was some yellow earwax discharge. At the same time, it seems he has no appetite and feels very weak. Question: How is it best to treat otitis media with pus discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications should be given based on the child's symptoms. Local medication can also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops for babies. For children with pronounced ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used cautiously. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the child develops a ruptured eardrum, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgery as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
