Question
How to treat pediatric otitis media with purulent discharge?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to relieve inflammatory symptoms in their child. Regional drug treatment, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops, can be adopted. If the child experiences severe ear pain, painkillers can be administered in appropriate amounts. Fever-reducing medication should be used when accompanied by high fever, and immediate medical attention should be sought in severe cases. If there are multiple acute infections or if there is already a tympanic membrane perforation, early surgical treatment should be considered. After the condition improves, it is suggested that children engage in moderate exercise to enhance their immunity and prevent recurrence.
