Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. Recently, he has been experiencing some ear pain. Additionally, his earwax is a bit thick and yellowish. He also seems to have a poor appetite and lacks energy. I would like to ask: How should I treat my child's otitis media and ear pain?Doctor's answer:
If the child gets otitis media, first you can use some symptomatic antibiotic medication, and you can also combine some local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child's ear pain is severe, you can also give some analgesic drugs as appropriate. Some children may also have a fever, in which case you can give them oral fever-reducing medication. If it cannot be relieved, it is necessary to seek medical attention. If your child has a problem with a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time for surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is mainly necessary to keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
