Otitis media is a condition of middle ear infection, commonly found in young children. If otitis media in children is not treated promptly and thoroughly, it can lead to dangerous complications such as: perforated eardrum, facial paralysis, mastoiditis, affecting hearing and speech, even meningitis, brain abscess... In addition to treatment at the hospital, parents also need to know how to properly care for children with otitis media.

Otitis media with pus, also known as otitis media, is a discharge of pus from the ear. The discharge is a sign that your ear has been damaged, or that there is a serious infection that requires medical attention.

Otitis media is damage and inflammation that occurs in the middle ear due to bacteria that grow and develop in the ear or from the outside environment. Acute otitis media can gradually turn into otitis media with pus, discharge or fluid if not treated properly.

Otitis media with effusion is common in children aged 1 to 3 years, characterized by fluid buildup behind an intact eardrum. If left undetected and untreated, otitis media with effusion has the potential to progress to chronic, irreversible hearing loss.
