Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old. This week, the child said her ears hurt. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and it seems she has no appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How is it better to treat otitis media and ear pain in children?Doctor's answer:
The first step in treating pediatric otitis media is that parents can give their children some anti-inflammatory medications. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has intense ear pain, it is recommended to give pain relievers based on the situation. If the child also has a high fever, they can take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if the eardrum has perforated, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as early as possible.
