Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 4 years old. Recently, the child said her ears hurt. She noticed that occasionally there is also yellow fluid leaking out, and she seems to have no appetite and is very weak.: How should otitis media (ear infection) with ear pain be treated in children?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 also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the baby. Depending on the child's condition, pain relievers can be given, especially when the ear pain is severe, to help alleviate the suffering. If the child has a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if a tympanic membrane perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. Parents should also pay attention to taking protective measures for their children to prevent recurrent middle ear infections.
