Patient's question:
Baby boy, just turned 2 years old. This week, the child has been scratching his ears and saying they itch. In the morning, the earwax is a bit thick and slightly yellow. At the same time, it seems he has no appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: If the child has otitis media and ear pain, how should it be treated well?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be used. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child also has a high fever, appropriate antipyretic drugs can be taken. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used in the treatment of otitis media currently. Additionally, if there is a case of a tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. After the condition improves, it is recommended to engage in appropriate exercise to boost the immune system and prevent recurrence.
