Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. This week, the child said his ears are itchy and painful. I noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish. Also, he seems to have no appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How should middle ear infection with ear fullness and pain be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are currently commonly used for the treatment of otitis media and can be selected as appropriate. Local medication can also be used, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for babies. If the ear pain is severe, some analgesics can be given appropriately. If the child has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If the child has a ruptured eardrum, they should be taken to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. After the condition improves, it is recommended to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
