Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 9 years old. In recent days, her ears have been a bit sore, and she has noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish. Additionally, she seems to have no appetite and is very weak. Please ask: If the child has otitis media and cannot hear clearly, what is the best treatment method?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic medications are commonly used in the treatment of otitis media and can be selected as needed. They can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing drugs or seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child experiences severe conditions, such as a tympanic membrane perforation, timely treatment is necessary. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
