How should otitis media with ear fullness and pain be treated appropriately in children?

Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 4 years old. Recently, her ears have been a bit painful. Additionally, the earwax is a bit thick and yellow, and she has a buzzing sensation in her ears. She also has a slightly low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear fullness and pain be treated for her child?

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. Local medication can be administered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. Pain relievers can also be given depending on the child's condition, especially when ear pain is severe, to help alleviate the suffering. If the child has a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These are all relatively common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment in a hospital is necessary. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
