Patient's question:
Boy, he is already one year old. These days, the child told me that his ears hurt a bit. In the morning, there is occasionally yellow fluid leaking out, and at the same time, there is a buzzing sound in his ears, and he has a slight fever. Please ask: How should acute otitis media with ear pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the current methods and medications used in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be used. If the ear pain is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medications can be administered. If the condition does not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. If your child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to visit the hospital promptly for surgical treatment. Parents should also pay attention to preventive measures to avoid recurrent otitis media.
