Patient's question:
Girl baby 3 years old, just started kindergarten. Recently, the child has been scratching her ears and saying they itch. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax. Also, she has a buzzing sensation in her ears and a slightly low fever. Please ask: How should I treat otitis media and ear pain in the child?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 be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, it is advisable to use some pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child also has a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these medication methods, if the child's condition is severe and results in a perforated eardrum, surgery is required at the hospital. Pay attention to a light diet, and during the treatment period, a liquid diet should be followed.
