Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 2 years old. In recent days, the child has been scratching her ears and saying they itch. In the morning, occasional yellow fluid also flows out, accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media and ear pain in children be treated effectively.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric otitis media can involve the use of symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms. While taking medication, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be administered. If the child experiences severe ear pain, it is recommended to give pain relievers as needed depending on the situation. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If there is a case of a tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment for the child can be considered. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
