Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 8 years old. This week, the child has been scratching his ears and saying they itch. Upon observation, there is a lot of yellow earwax. At the same time, he also has a headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear fullness and pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be used appropriately. Ear secretion bacterial culture can be performed, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used based on the test results. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate analgesics to relieve the pain. If the child has a fever, you can give them some fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child's condition is severe and a tympanic membrane perforation occurs, surgical treatment in a hospital is required. Pay attention to a light diet and consume mainly liquid food during the treatment period.
