Patient's question:
My little boy is one year old this year. This week, the child told me his ears are a bit painful. I noticed that sometimes there is also some yellow liquid leaking out, accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: If my child has otitis media and ear pain, how should it be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
First, for treating pediatric otitis media, parents can give their children anti-inflammatory medications, or they can also combine some local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child also has a high fever, they can take fever-reducing medication if deemed necessary. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child's condition worsens and an eardrum perforation occurs, hospital surgery is required. Finally, parents should take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
