Patient's question:
Girl baby, 3 years old, just started kindergarten. Recently, her ears have been a bit painful. In the morning, occasionally, there is a bit of yellow liquid leaking out. At the same time, it seems like she has no appetite and is very weak. Question: How should otitis media with ear pain be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, they can first use some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Additionally, local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. In cases of ear pain, pain relievers can also be given to the child. Moreover, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media currently. Additionally, if there is a case of eardrum perforation, it is necessary to undergo surgery in a timely manner. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
