How should a child with otitis media and ear fullness and pain be treated?

Patient's question:

My little girl is 3 years old. These days, she has been scratching her ears and says they are itchy. I noticed yellow earwax coming out, and her appetite is not good either. Her throat also feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should I treat her middle ear infection with ear?

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be used appropriately. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents can appropriately give some pain relievers to alleviate it. If the child has a fever, you can give them some fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. If your child has a problem with a torn eardrum, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgery promptly. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with additional nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. It is also necessary to pay attention to getting plenty of rest and avoiding fatigue.
