Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old. Recently, the child told me that her ears are a bit painful. Additionally, there is yellow earwax discharge, and her appetite is not good either. Her throat also feels uncomfortable. Please ask: If the child has otitis media and cannot hear clearly, what treatment method is most effective?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric otitis media can use symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with significant ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a high fever, appropriate fever-reducing medication should be administered. In severe cases, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. Parents should also pay attention to preventive measures to avoid the recurrence of otitis media.
