Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. This week, the child has been scratching her ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, accompanied by headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media and ear pain be treated in the child.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used in clinical treatment for pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose based on symptoms, or opt for local medication, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the child. If the child's ear pain is severe, they can also be given pain-relieving medications as needed. If the child has a high fever, medication should be administered based on their symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek immediate medical attention at the hospital. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child's condition worsens and an eardrum perforation occurs, surgical treatment at the hospital is necessary. At the same time, it is also important to ensure the child maintains a balanced diet and a regular sleep schedule to aid in early recovery from the illness.
