Patient's question:
Boy, already 7 years old, these past few days, the child has said that his ears hurt. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and he also has a headache and a fever. Please ask: How should otitis media ear pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the current methods and medications for the clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose according to symptoms, and local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for children. If the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers should be given. If the child has a high fever, antipyretic drugs should be used cautiously. If the condition is serious, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above are common treatment methods, but if the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, timely medical treatment in the hospital is required. Parents should also pay attention to preventive measures to avoid recurrence of otitis media.
