Question
How should children’s otitis media with earwax and pus be treated?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric otitis media can involve using symptomatic medications based on the child’s symptoms. It is advisable to perform a bacterial culture of ear secretions and use anti-inflammatory ear drops according to the test results. If the child experiences severe ear pain, painkillers can be considered. If accompanied by a high fever, a moderate amount of antipyretic medication may be used. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, if an eardrum perforation occurs, timely surgical treatment is necessary. After the condition improves, it is recommended that children engage in moderate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
