Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 6 years old, this week, the child said that his ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and at the same time, his appetite was not good, and his throat was also uncomfortable. Please ask: How should middle ear infection and ear pain be treated in children.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, they can use anti-inflammatory drugs for symptomatic treatment. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be applied, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. In case of ear pain, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child also has a high fever, fever-reducing medication can be administered on a case-by-case basis. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child exhibits severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, immediate medical treatment is required. Parents should also pay attention to preventive measures to avoid recurrent otitis media.
