Patient's question:
Boy, already 5 years old. Recently, the child has said that his ears hurt. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax. Also, his appetite is not good, and his throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How to treat otitis media with pus discharge in children.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the child. When the child's ear pain is severe, they can also take some pain relievers in moderation. If the child also has a high fever, they can take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential 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 important to keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold, which could worsen the symptoms.
