Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 2 years old. Recently, the child told me her ears are a bit painful. Additionally, there is occasionally a yellowish liquid discharge, and she hears a buzzing sound in her ears. She also has a slight fever. I would like to ask: If the child has otitis media with ear fullness and pain, what treatment is most effective?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, you can give the child some symptom-relieving antibiotics, or use topical medications. For example, you can apply anti-inflammatory ear drops to the child. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a fever, you can give them fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Otitis media is prone to recurring, and if there is a perforation of the eardrum, it needs to be treated promptly. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate nutrition, with a diet that is light and easy to digest. Rest is also crucial, and fatigue should be avoided.
