How to Treat Ear Pain and Swelling from Otitis Media Effectively in Children

Patient's question:

My little girl is one year old this year. This week, the child said her ears hurt, and it was also found that the earwax was purulent, a little yellow, accompanied by a headache and fever. Please ask: How should you treat otitis media effectively if the child's ears are stuffy and painful?

Doctor's answer:

First, parents can give their child anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the child experiences severe ear pain, painkillers can be administered according to the situation. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used cautiously. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these medication methods, if the child's condition worsens and ear drum perforation occurs, surgical treatment in a hospital will be required. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the illness recover early.
