Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 6 years old, these days, the child told me her ears are a little sore, and I noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellow, and her appetite is not good either, and her throat feels uncomfortable.: how should the child's otitis media be treated if she can't hear clearly?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to select appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their child to alleviate inflammation symptoms. Parents can apply topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If the child primarily experiences ear pain, it is advisable for parents to provide appropriate pain relievers to ease the discomfort. If the child has a high fever, they should take fever-reducing medication in moderation. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the child develops a eardrum perforation, they should go to the hospital for surgery as soon as possible. While being treated, parents should also ensure the child follows a light diet and increases nutritional intake to aid in early recovery.
