Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 3 years old. These past few days, the child has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. Additionally, he has a lot of yellow earwax and is experiencing a headache and fever. Please ask: If the child has otitis media and cannot hear well, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the current methods and medications for the clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them based on the symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child develops a eardrum perforation, they should go to the hospital for surgery promptly. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to help the disease recover quickly.
