Patient's question:
Boy, he is already one year old. These days, his ears have been a bit sore. Additionally, it was found that the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow, and there is a buzzing sound in the ear, along with a slightly low fever. Please ask: How can effective treatment be provided for otitis media if the child's ears are sore?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be used. Local medication is also an option, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a high fever, appropriate dosages of fever-reducing medication should be used. In case of severe symptoms, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a possibility of eardrum perforation, parents can consider surgical treatment for the child. During the treatment period, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
