Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. Recently, the child told me that his ears are a little painful. Upon examination, it was found that the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow, and at the same time, there is a buzzing sound in the ears and a slightly low fever. Please ask: how should the treatment and diagnosis be carried out if the child has otitis media and ear pain?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be used. Bacterial culture of ear secretions can be performed, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used based on the test results. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate pain relief medication to alleviate it. If the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, they should seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a perforated eardrum, they need to be taken to the hospital for surgical treatment. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take their child to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to related prevention and health care measures during daily life.
