Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 3 years old. In the past few days, the child told me that his ears hurt a bit. Additionally, there is some yellow earwax discharge, and he seems to have no appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear fullness and pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be used appropriately, or local medication can be applied, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the baby. When the child's ear pain is severe, a small amount of pain-relieving medication can also be used. If the child has a fever, parents can give them some fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child shows severe conditions, such as a perforated eardrum, prompt medical treatment is necessary. During the treatment period, a light diet should be maintained, with liquid foods being the primary option.
