Patient's question:
Boys, already 5 years old, recently, the child said his ears hurt. Additionally, it was found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow. Also, it seems that there is no appetite and low energy. Please ask: if the child has otitis media and cannot hear well, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Firstly, to treat pediatric otitis media, parents can give their children anti-inflammatory medications. They can also use local treatments, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with severe ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has high fever, appropriate fever-reducing medication should be administered. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. If your child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional support to help them recover as soon as possible.
