Boys, already 9 years old, this week, the child said his ears hurt, and occasionally there was also yellow liquid flowing out, and it seemed he had no appetite and felt very weak. Please ask: How should the treatment be carried out if the child has otitis media and cannot hear clearly?

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be used appropriately. Parents can use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents can give appropriate analgesics to relieve the pain. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used appropriately. If it is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above methods are commonly used in the current treatment of otitis media. In addition, if there is a case of eardrum perforation, it is necessary to undergo surgery in a timely manner. Finally, it is hoped that parents can pay attention to this disease and take their children to seek medical treatment as soon as possible. It is also important to pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
