Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 9 years old. Recently, the child said her ears are itchy and painful. Additionally, the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, and she hears a buzzing sound in her ears. She also has a slight fever. Please ask: How to treat otitis media ear pain in children.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the current methods and medications used in clinical treatment of otitis media in children. Parents can choose based on symptoms. Local medication can be administered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. Pain relievers can also be given depending on the child's condition, especially when ear pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a high fever, antipyretics should be used cautiously. In severe cases, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a case of eardrum perforation, parents can consider surgical treatment for the child. Additionally, parents should pay attention to protective measures for their children to prevent recurrent otitis media.
