Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 3 years old. This week, the child said his ears are itchy and painful. Additionally, occasionally there is a yellowish liquid discharge, and he seems to have no appetite and is also very weak. Please ask: How is it better to treat otitis media and ear pain in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating otitis media and can be selected as needed. If a child's condition is severe, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be used in conjunction. If the child has severe ear pain, pain medication can be administered based on the situation. If the child also has a high fever, medication should be used according to the symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention at the hospital as soon as possible. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, surgical treatment in the hospital is necessary. During the treatment period, it is essential to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
