Patient's question:
My daughter is 9 years old. Recently, she has been saying her ears hurt. Additionally, her earwax is a bit thick and yellow, and she has a buzzing sensation in her ears. She also has a slight fever. Please ask: How should middle ear infection-related ear pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, or local treatments can be applied. For example, anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used for babies, and pain relievers can be given if the child has ear pain. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medications or seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child's condition is severe and involves a eardrum perforation, surgical treatment in a hospital is necessary. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring the child for medical treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
