Question
How to treat a child’s otitis media with pus? The little girl is currently 8 years old, and for the past few days, her ears have been a bit painful. In the morning, there is yellow earwax discharge, and she has lost her appetite and a sore throat as well.
Answer
Generally speaking, for pediatric otitis media, children can be given some antibiotics, which are usually effective. Parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. For children with obvious earache symptoms, some painkillers can be used. If the child has fever symptoms, some antipyretic medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child has a perforated eardrum issue, timely hospital treatment and surgical treatment are required. During the treatment period, pay attention to a light diet and consume mainly liquid foods.
