Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 1 year old, this week, the child said her ears hurt. She noticed that there was yellow earwax coming out, and at the same time, her appetite was not good, and her throat was uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media ear pain be treated for the child?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric otitis media can involve the use of symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child experiences severe ear pain, a small amount of pain reliever can be used. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media is characterized by recurrent episodes, and if there is a case of tympanic membrane perforation, it should be treated in a timely manner. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
