Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old. Recently, the child said her ears hurt. Also, her earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, and she seems to have little appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How should we treat her ear pain if it is otitis media?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic medications are commonly used for the treatment of otitis media and can be selected as needed. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if a tympanic membrane perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be conducted in a timely manner. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
