Patient's question:
Boy, already 3 years old, recently, the child's ears are a bit painful. In the morning, some yellow earwax has been flowing out, accompanied by a low fever. Please ask: How should middle ear infection and ear pain be treated in children.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets an ear infection, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be used. Local drug treatment can be selected, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used. For children with obvious ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be administered. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, please go to the hospital for immediate treatment. If there is a possibility of a tympanic membrane perforation, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
