Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 1 year old. These past few days, the child has said her ears hurt. Additionally, we found that the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow. Also, it seems she has no appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How should we diagnose and treat her middle ear infection with ear?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used for clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops, or pain relievers can be given according to the child's condition, especially when ear pain is severe, to help alleviate the suffering. If the child has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication or taken to the hospital immediately. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child develops a symptom of eardrum perforation, it is necessary to seek medical treatment promptly and undergo surgical intervention. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
