Patient's question:
Female baby, only 3 years old. This week, the child has been scratching her ears and saying they are itchy. Additionally, it has been discovered that the earwax is purulent, slightly yellow, and the ears are buzzing. There is also a slightly low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear pain in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for the treatment of otitis media and can be selected as needed. Additionally, local treatments can also be administered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for children. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If high fever accompanies the symptoms, medication should be administered based on the child's condition. In severe cases, seek immediate medical attention at the hospital. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if a tympanic membrane perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. During this period, ensure the child gets sufficient rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
