Question
My son’s ear is discharging pus. What could be the cause?
Answer
It appears that your son may have otitis media, which traditional Chinese medicine attributes to damp-heat syndrome. It is recommended to use intravenous treatment, and if he is not allergic to penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics, one of these two types of medication can be administered. Early treatment generally does not harm the eardrum and can also be supplemented with Longdan Xiaogan pills to enhance the effect. In terms of daily care, it is advisable to avoid spicy and greasy foods, which can help in the recovery from otitis media. View more
