Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old. In the past few days, the child has said her ears hurt. Additionally, there is occasionally a yellowish liquid discharge, and her ears are buzzing. She also has a slightly low fever. Please ask: How should one treat otitis media with ear pain in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the current methods and medications used in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be administered or the child should be taken to the hospital immediately. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if a tympanic membrane perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet, enhance nutritional supplementation, and aid in early recovery.
