Patient's question:
Boy, already 8 years old, recently, the child said his ears hurt. In the morning, it was found that the earwax was purulent, slightly yellow. Additionally, there were accompanied symptoms of headache and fever. Please ask: How is it better to treat otitis media ear pain in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Ear secretion bacterial culture can be performed, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used based on the test results. When the child's ear pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be used in moderation. Additionally, if the child has a fever, some fever-reducing medication can also be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child experiences severe conditions, such as a ruptured eardrum, immediate medical treatment is required. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet consisting mainly of light foods. Rest should also be ensured to avoid fatigue.
