Patient's question:
Boys, already 9 years old, this week, the child said his ears hurt, noticed that there was a lot of yellow earwax, and his ears were buzzing, a bit of a low fever. Please ask: how should otitis media with ear pain be treated in children.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric otitis media primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Symptomatic drugs can be used based on the child's symptoms, and the effects are quite good. Additionally, local treatments can be administered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the child experiences ear pain, pain relievers can also be given. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medications or take the child to the hospital immediately. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child exhibits symptoms of a tympanic membrane perforation, prompt medical treatment, including surgery, is necessary. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures.
