How should a child with otitis media and ear pain be treated?

Patient's question:

Girl baby, only 8 years old, recently, the child told me her ears hurt a little, noticed that, earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, at the same time, appetite is not good, throat is also uncomfortable, please ask: How should the treatment be for the child's otitis media and ear pain.

Doctor's answer:

Treatment should be based on the child's symptoms, administering symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. Local treatment can also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the child. If the child's ear pain is severe, a small amount of pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a high fever, medication should be administered based on their symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical attention immediately. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a ruptured eardrum, surgical treatment in a hospital is necessary. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
