Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 8 years old. Recently, the child told me that her ears are a bit sore. In the morning, the earwax is slightly thick and yellowish. At the same time, her appetite is not good, and her throat feels uncomfortable. Question: How can ear fullness and pain caused by otitis media be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, you can first use some symptomatic antibiotic medications. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents can appropriately give some pain-relieving medication to alleviate it. If the child has a high fever, antipyretic drugs should be used appropriately. If it is serious, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media currently. Additionally, if there is a perforation of the eardrum, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. During the treatment period, it is important to give the child adequate nutrition, with a diet that is primarily light. It is also necessary to pay attention to getting more rest and avoid fatigue.
