Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 3 years old. In recent days, the child's ears have been a bit painful. In the morning, there was some yellow earwax discharge, and his ears were buzzing. He also has a slightly low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear fullness and pain be treated in children.Doctor's answer:
Currently in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric otitis media primarily relies on antibiotics. Symptomatic medications can be used based on the child's symptoms, and the effects are quite good. Local medication treatment can be administered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents provide appropriate pain relievers to alleviate it. If the child also has a high fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication on a case-by-case basis. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if the eardrum has already perforated, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and focus on liquid foods during the treatment period.
