Patient's question:
A 3-year-old girl has just started attending kindergarten. In recent days, her ears have been slightly painful, and she has noticed that yellow earwax is coming out. Additionally, she seems to have little appetite and feels very weak. Please advise on how to treat her otitis media and ear pain effectively.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. For children with obvious ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if a eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
