Patient's question:
Boys, who are already 6 years old, have been saying that their ears are itchy and painful these days. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and at the same time, their appetite was not good, and their throat was also uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear pain be treated in children.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric otitis media can involve symptomatic medication based on the child's symptoms. Local medication can be chosen, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relief medication can be administered. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If the patient develops severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, timely surgical treatment in a hospital is necessary. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be maintained to avoid fatigue.
