Patient's question:
Boy, already 5 years old, this week, the child said his ears are itchy and painful. Upon examination, it was found that the earwax is purulent, slightly yellow, and it seems that he has little appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How is it better to treat otitis media ear pain in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used in clinical treatment for pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them according to the symptoms. Parents can use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment on their children, or they can give pain relievers based on the child's condition, especially when the ear pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a fever, parents can give them some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These are all relatively common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a symptom of a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to visit the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. Parents should also pay attention to taking preventive measures to avoid recurrent otitis media.
