Patient's question:
Our child is a boy, 2 years old. Recently, he has said that his ears hurt. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and his appetite is poor, and his throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media be treated when the child cannot hear clearly?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications. Local medication can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Additionally, if there is a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used in the treatment of otitis media. Furthermore, if there is a case of tympanic membrane perforation, it requires timely surgical treatment. Parents should also pay attention to preventive measures for their children to avoid recurrent otitis media.
