Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 4 years old. In recent days, the child said her ears hurt. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and slightly yellow. Additionally, it seems she has no appetite and is also very weak. Please ask: If the child has otitis media and ear pain, how can it be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is otitis media in children, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be effective. Local medication can also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the child. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used appropriately. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these treatment methods, if the child's condition is severe and involves a perforated eardrum, surgery may be required at the hospital. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for the child as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
