Patient's question:
Boy, already 3 years old. In recent days, the child has said his ears hurt. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and additionally, there was a buzzing sound in his ears, slightly feverish. Please ask: If the child has otitis media and cannot hear clearly, how should it be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relief medication can be given. If the child has a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child experiences severe conditions, such as a tympanic membrane perforation, immediate treatment is required. While being treated, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
