Patient's question:
Boys, they are already 6 years old. This week, the child has had a slightly painful ear. In the morning, it was found that the earwax was purulent, a little yellow, and it seems that there is no appetite and also very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear fullness and pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric otitis media can use symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms. Local medications can be chosen, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, analgesic medications can be considered. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a perforation of the eardrum, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
