Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old this year. This week, the child said his ears felt itchy and painful, and occasionally there was also yellow fluid leaking out. Additionally, he had a headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear fullness and pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric otitis media, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. A bacterial culture of ear discharge can be performed, and based on the test results, anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used. In cases of ear pain, pain relief medication can also be given to the child. If the child also has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication. If the symptoms are severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the patient develops serious symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, immediate medical treatment, including surgical intervention, may be necessary. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children early, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
