Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 2 years old. In recent days, the child has been scratching her ears and saying they itch. In the morning, there is occasionally yellow fluid discharge, and her ears are buzzing. She also has a slightly low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media 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. It can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is also appropriate to use a small amount of pain-relieving medication. If the child also has a high fever, they can take fever-reducing medication if necessary. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication and treatment methods, if the child experiences severe conditions, such as a perforated eardrum, immediate treatment is required. Parents should also pay attention to protecting the child to prevent the recurrence of otitis media.
