Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started primary school. Recently, the child has complained that his ears are itchy and painful. Additionally, it was discovered that the earwax is purulent, slightly yellow, and there is a buzzing sensation in the ears. He also has a slight fever. Question: What is the most effective treatment for ear pain caused by otitis media?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is advisable to administer pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has a high fever, it is appropriate to use fever-reducing medication in moderation. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In cases of a perforated eardrum, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a balanced diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
