Patient's question:
Male baby, just turned 6 years old. This week, the child said his ears feel itchy and painful. Additionally, it was found that the earwax is purulent, slightly yellow, and it seems that he has no appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How can otitis media with ear fullness and pain be treated in children.Doctor's answer:
It is appropriate to use some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs, and you can also combine them with local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear hurts a lot, you can give them some pain-relieving medication as needed. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media tends to recur, and if there is a eardrum perforation, it needs to be treated promptly. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid getting cold, as this can worsen the symptoms.
