Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 5 years old. This week, the child said his ears hurt, and sometimes there was also yellow fluid coming out. Additionally, there were some low fever symptoms. Question: How should otitis media ear pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be used appropriately. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be used. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents can give appropriate pain relief medication to alleviate it. If the child has a fever, you can give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. If the child develops a perforated eardrum, it is recommended to seek surgical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. Pay attention to a light diet and mainly consume liquid food during the treatment period.
