Patient's question:
My boy is 6 years old this year. This week, my child's ears have been a bit painful. In the morning, I found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, and at the same time, accompanied by a headache and fever. Please ask: How should pediatric otitis media with ear pain be treated properly.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to relieve inflammatory symptoms. They can also combine this with local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used cautiously. If the condition is serious, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a ruptured eardrum, immediate hospital treatment is required. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
