Please ask: How should otitis media with earwax and pus-like discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their child. These can help alleviate inflammation symptoms. Local medication can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops, to treat the condition. In cases of ear pain, children can be given pain relievers. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if an eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical intervention should be performed in a timely manner. During treatment, it is advisable to maintain a light diet and focus on a liquid diet.
