How to treat a child's middle ear infection and improve hearing?

Patient's question:

Girl baby, only 8 years old, this week, the child has been scratching her ears and says it's itchy. In the morning, yellow earwax was discharged, and her ears were buzzing a bit, and she had a low fever. Please ask: How can otitis media in the child, who can't hear clearly, be treated well.

Doctor's answer:

The treatment of pediatric otitis media can involve symptomatic medication based on the child's symptoms, or local medication, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the baby. For children with prominent ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child exhibits severe conditions, such as a tympanic membrane perforation, immediate medical treatment is required. Parents should also take precautions to prevent the recurrence of otitis media.
