Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, already in primary school. This week, the child has had a slightly sore ear. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and the ear was buzzing. There was also a slightly low fever. Please ask: How to treat otitis media and ear pain in children.Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on the symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be administered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for children. Pain relievers can also be given to children depending on their condition, especially when ear pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. If there is a possibility of a eardrum perforation, parents may consider surgical treatment for their child. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
