Patient's question:
My little girl is 6 years old. Recently, she has been scratching her ears and saying they are itchy. Additionally, I noticed that the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow, and it seems she has no appetite and is very weak. Please advise: How can I treat her otitis media and ear pain effectively?Doctor's answer:
To treat otitis media effectively, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on the symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be used. For ear pain, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has a high fever, appropriate fever-reducing medication should be used. If the condition is serious, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if an eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
