Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old. Recently, the child has said her ears hurt. It was noticed that yellow earwax is coming out, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How to treat ear pain caused by otitis media.Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric otitis media can use symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms. It can involve local medications, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used cautiously. If the condition is severe, prompt medical attention is necessary. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child's condition is severe and a eardrum perforation occurs, hospital surgery is required. During daily life, it's important to maintain a light diet, and during the treatment period, a liquid diet is recommended.
