Patient's question:
Baby girl, currently 4 years old. This week, the child has been experiencing some ear pain, and it was also found that the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow. Additionally, her appetite is poor, and her throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should we treat middle ear infection and ear pain in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it's pediatric otitis media, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be given, or the child should be taken to the hospital immediately. If there is a case of a perforated eardrum, surgical treatment for the child can be considered. Finally, we hope parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early medical treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
