Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 4 years old. In recent days, the child's ears have been slightly painful. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and at the same time, it seems that there is little appetite and fatigue. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear fullness and pain be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents, under the guidance of a doctor, select appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs for their children to relieve inflammation symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be administered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the child experiences severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is advisable to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a high fever, some fever-reducing medication should be used in moderation. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If the child develops a ruptured eardrum, it is important to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. Parents should also pay attention to protective measures to prevent recurrent otitis media.
