Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 2 years old, recently, the child said her ears hurt. She noticed that occasionally there was also yellow fluid leaking out. Additionally, she seems to have no appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How should acute otitis media with ear pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. While taking medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, a small amount of pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child also has a high fever, appropriate fever-reducing medication can be taken. However, if the fever persists, it is crucial to seek medical attention promptly. If your child develops a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to visit the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
