Patient's question:
My little boy is 1 year old. Recently, he said his ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, yellow earwax came out, and his ears were buzzing. He also has a slight fever. Please ask: If a child has otitis media with ear fullness and pain, how should it be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is otitis media in children, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics can be given, which is quite effective. Local medication can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain, pain medication should be given based on the situation. If high fever is present, medication should be used according to the child's symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical attention promptly. If the patient develops severe symptoms, such as a ruptured eardrum, it is necessary to receive surgical treatment in a hospital in a timely manner. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further exposure to cold to worsen the symptoms.
