Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. This week, the child said his ears felt itchy and painful. He noticed that there was a lot of yellow earwax. Additionally, he had a headache and fever. Question: How should the child's otitis media with ear fullness and pain be treated.Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or use local treatments. For example, you can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for babies. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents can appropriately give some analgesics to relieve it. If the child has a fever, you can give the child some fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child's condition is severe and there is a eardrum perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is also important to pay attention to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest time.
