Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. Recently, the child told me her ears are a bit painful. In the morning, I found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, and there was a buzzing sound in her ears. She also had a slight fever. Please ask: If the child has otitis media and cannot hear clearly, what treatment is best?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic medications are commonly used for treating otitis media and can be selected as appropriate. Local medication is an option, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If a child experiences severe ear pain, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. If the child also has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if an eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and daily routine for the child to help speed up recovery from the illness.
