Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 years old. In the past few days, the child has said his ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, there was yellow earwax discharge. At the same time, his appetite is not good, and his throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How to treat ear pain from otitis media in children.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, they can use anti-inflammatory drugs for symptomatic treatment. Local medication can be applied, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. Pain relievers can also be given to children when they have ear pain. If the child has a high fever, appropriate doses of fever-reducing medication should be used. In severe cases, prompt medical attention is necessary. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if an eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. During daily life, it is important to maintain a light diet, and a liquid diet should be primarily consumed during the treatment period.
