Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 3 years old. In recent days, the child has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. It has been noticed that there is a lot of yellow earwax. Additionally, it seems that he has little appetite and is also weak. Please ask: How is it better to treat otitis media and ear pain in children?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. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be used. When the child experiences severe ear pain, a small amount of pain relief medication can be used appropriately. If the child has a fever, parents can give them some fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. If the patient develops severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to seek medical treatment and surgery promptly. Parents should also pay attention to preventive measures to avoid recurrent middle ear infections.
