Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 8 years old, this week, the child's ears hurt a little. Upon noticing, it was found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media in children be treated when the ears hurt.Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, or local medication can be used, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to seek surgical treatment at the hospital in a timely manner. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and eats more fruits and vegetables.
