Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 5 years old, these days, the child has been scratching her ears and says they itch. Upon examination, it was found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, and it seemed she had little appetite and was also weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used in clinical treatment for pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. Parents can use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve symptoms. Some children may also have a fever at this time, and oral fever-reducing drugs can be given to them. If it cannot be relieved, medical attention is necessary. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible for surgical treatment. Pay attention to a light diet and focus on liquid food during the treatment period.
