Patient's question:
Little girl, currently 3 years old. This week, the child said her ears were itchy and painful. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and yellowish, accompanied by some low-grade fever. Please ask: How should otitis media (middle ear infection) with ear pain be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be used appropriately, or local medications can be applied. For example, for babies, anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used. For children with obvious ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be administered. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. If the patient experiences severe symptoms, such as a ruptured eardrum, surgical treatment in the hospital is necessary. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
