How to treat ear fullness and pain caused by otitis media in children

Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 6 years old. In recent days, the child said her ears hurt. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear fullness and pain be treated in children.

Doctor's answer:

It is appropriate to use some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs, or topical medication, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the baby. When the child's ear pain is severe, a small amount of pain-relieving medication can also be used. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if a eardrum perforation has already occurred, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
