Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 8 years old. Recently, her ears have been a bit painful. In the morning, some yellow earwax has been leaking out, accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear fullness and pain be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
The treatment for pediatric otitis media can involve using symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms, or it can be combined with some local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's primary symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents can appropriately give pain-relieving medication to alleviate it. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used cautiously. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media is characterized by recurring episodes, and if there is a perforation of the eardrum, it needs to be treated in a timely manner. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and focus on a liquid diet during the treatment period.
