Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 1 year old. This week, the child said her ears hurt. Additionally, there was yellow earwax discharge, and her appetite was poor, and her throat felt uncomfortable. Please ask: If the child has otitis media and can't hear clearly, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is otitis media in children, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics can be given to the child, which is quite effective. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. For children with obvious ear pain symptoms, analgesic drugs can be used. If the child has a high fever, appropriate fever-reducing medication should be administered. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media at present. Additionally, if there is a case of eardrum perforation, it is necessary to undergo surgical treatment in a timely manner. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
