Child has otitis media with ear fullness and pain, how should it be treated better

Patient's question:

Boy, just turned 3 years old. In recent days, the child has had a bit of ear pain, noticed that there is a lot of yellow earwax, and appetite is not good either, and the throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How is it better to treat otitis media with ear fullness and pain in children.

Doctor's answer:

In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain, it is advised to provide pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child's condition is severe and results in a tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment in a hospital is necessary. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and focus on a liquid diet during the treatment period.
