Patient's question:
Boy, already 3 years old. These past few days, the child told me his ears hurt a bit. Also, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and accompanied by a headache and fever. Please ask: how is it best to treat the child for otitis media if he can't hear clearly.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, symptomatic use of anti-inflammatory drugs can be applied, and bacterial culture of ear secretions can be performed. Based on the test results, anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge symptoms are severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has a fever, some fever-reducing drugs can be taken. In severe cases, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media at present. In addition, if there is a case of eardrum perforation, it is necessary to undergo timely surgical treatment. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and a liquid diet should be followed during the treatment period.
