Patient's question:
My male baby, he is 1 year old. This week, the child has been scratching his ears and says they itch. I noticed that there is a lot of yellow earwax. Additionally, his appetite is not good, and his throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: how to treat otitis media with ear fullness and pain in children well.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets an ear infection, first you can use some symptomatic antibiotics. You can choose local treatment options, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. Depending on the child's condition, you can also give pain relief medication, especially when the ear pain is severe, as it can help alleviate the suffering. If the child also has a high fever, you may consider giving fever-reducing medication, but if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a possibility of a eardrum perforation, parents can consider surgical treatment for the child. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further exacerbation of symptoms due to catching a cold.
