Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, in primary school. This week, the child said his ears were itchy and painful. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and yellowish, and he seemed to have no appetite and felt very weak. Please ask: How can we effectively treat otitis media with ear fullness and pain in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be used appropriately. Parents can use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing drugs can be administered. If it cannot be relieved, it is essential to seek medical attention. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if the eardrum has perforated, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
