Patient's question:
My little girl, she's one year old. Recently, her ears have been a bit painful. I noticed some yellow earwax coming out, and she also has some low-grade fever. I'd like to ask: How should otitis media and ear pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for children. If the child's ear pain is severe, you can also use pain-relieving medication in moderation. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used according to the child's symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical treatment immediately. If your child has a problem with a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to visit the hospital promptly for surgical treatment. Lastly, parents should pay attention to this condition, take the child to see a doctor as soon as possible for treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
