Question
How should a child’s otitis media with earwax and pus be treated?
Answer
For such conditions, children can be treated with symptomatic antibiotic medications. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment can also be administered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. When a child experiences severe ear pain, painkillers can be used in moderation. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. Additionally, if an eardrum perforation occurs, timely surgical treatment is required. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, maintain a light diet, and get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
