Patient's question:
Boys, who are already 3 years old, have been saying recently that their ears feel itchy and painful. Upon examination, they found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, and it seemed like they had little appetite and felt very weak. Please ask: How to treat otitis media if the child cannot hear clearly when speaking.Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Local medication can also be used, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be applied for treatment. If the child experiences severe ear pain, it is recommended to administer pain relievers based on the situation. If the child also has a high fever, it is advisable to consider giving fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is crucial to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication methods, if the child's condition worsens and results in a ruptured eardrum, it is necessary to visit the hospital for surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
