Patient's question:
My male child is 9 years old. Recently, he said his ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and his ears were buzzing. He also had a slightly low fever. Could you please advise on how to treat his otitis media with ear fullness and pain?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If a child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if a eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be promptly performed. During treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
