Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old. In the past few days, the child has said her ears hurt. Upon checking, it was found that the earwax was purulent, slightly yellow, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs should be given based on the child's symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. In cases of ear pain, pain relievers can be administered to the child. If the child has a high fever, appropriate doses of fever-reducing medication should be used. If the condition is serious, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child exhibits severe conditions, such as a punctured eardrum, immediate medical treatment is required. While being treated, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
