Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 9 years old. Recently, the child has said her ears hurt. Additionally, occasionally, there is also a yellowish fluid discharge, and she seems to have little appetite and feels very weak.: How should otitis media (middle ear infection) be treated in children when they experience ear pain?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, first, you can use some symptomatic antibiotic drugs. If the child's condition is relatively severe, you can also combine some local treatments, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents can appropriately give some pain-relieving medication to alleviate it. If it is accompanied by high fever, medication should be used according to the child's symptoms. In severe cases, please go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. The above are relatively common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a symptom of eardrum perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. Finally, we hope parents can pay attention to this disease and take the child to the hospital for treatment as early as possible. Also, it is important to pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
