Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. Recently, the child told me that his ear is a bit painful. In the morning, I noticed that the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow, and accompanied by a headache and fever. Please ask: How should I diagnose and treat the pain in the child's ear due to otitis media?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local medication can also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the baby. If the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relief medication can be given. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical treatment immediately. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child's condition worsens, such as in the case of a perforated eardrum, timely treatment is necessary. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with ample nutrients, and the diet should primarily consist of light foods. Rest should also be emphasized to avoid fatigue.
