Question
How should otitis media with pus in children be treated?
Answer
The treatment of otitis media should be based on the child’s symptoms and include symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, as well as regional use of anti-inflammatory ear drops. For ear pain, appropriate painkillers can be administered. If accompanied by a high fever, fever-reducing medication can be used. In severe cases, immediate medical attention is required. If there are repeated acute severe symptoms or if there is already a perforation in the eardrum, surgical treatment may be necessary. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to maintaining good dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest time.
