Patient's question:
Female baby, only 9 years old, these days, the child told me her ears are a bit sore. Also, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and she has some low-grade fever. Please ask: How should a child with otitis media and ear pain be treated.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, anti-inflammatory drugs can be used symptomatically, and some local treatment methods can be combined, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. For children with prominent ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used appropriately. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If a child has a eardrum perforation, it is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible for surgery. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
