Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old. Recently, the child has been scratching her ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and yellowish, and accompanied by a headache and fever. Question: If the child has otitis media and cannot hear clearly, what is the best way to treat it?Doctor's answer:
First, for treating pediatric otitis media, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medications. Local treatment can also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to provide pain-relieving medication based on the situation. If the child has a high fever, appropriate fever-reducing medication should be used. If the condition is severe, prompt medical attention is necessary. If the child experiences a tympanic membrane perforation, it is important to seek medical treatment and surgery as soon as possible. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is recommended.
