Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. Recently, he said his ears hurt. I noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellow, and his ears are buzzing. He also has a slight fever. I would like to ask: How should I treat his otitis media and ear pain?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Parents can also use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. In case of ear pain, children can be given pain relievers. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child has a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to visit the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest.
