Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 8 years old. Recently, the child has been scratching her ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and slightly yellow, and at the same time, she felt a buzzing in her ears with a mild fever. Please ask: If a child with otitis media can't hear clearly, how should it be treated best?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used in the treatment of otitis media and can be selected as appropriate. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for children. When the child's ear pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can also be used in moderation. If fever is present, fever-reducing drugs can be taken. However, for high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child's condition worsens severely, such as with a perforated eardrum, timely medical treatment is necessary. While undergoing treatment, it is important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
