Patient's question:
A 3-year-old girl just started attending kindergarten. Recently, her ears have been a bit sore. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and slightly yellow, and she also seemed to have little appetite and felt very weak. Could you please advise on how to treat her otitis media with ear fullness and pain?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, you can give your child some symptomatic antibiotic medications. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. When your child's ear pain is severe, you can also take appropriate amounts of pain relievers. Additionally, if there is a fever, you can take some fever-reducing medication. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child has a problem with a torn eardrum, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgery promptly. During treatment, pay attention to providing your child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and also make sure to get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
