Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 6 years old. This week, the child has been experiencing some ear pain. In the morning, there was a discharge of yellow earwax, accompanied by a low fever. Please ask: How should acute otitis media with ear fullness and pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for the treatment of otitis media and can be selected as appropriate. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate pain relief medication. If the child has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child develops a perforated eardrum, it is advisable to go to the hospital for surgical treatment. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the condition recover as quickly as possible.
