Patient's question:
Boy, who is 9 years old, has recently said that his ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, yellow earwax has been leaking out, while his appetite is poor and his throat feels uncomfortable. How should otitis media with ear pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If the child gets otitis media, you can first use some symptomatic antibiotic medication. It can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, please go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. In addition to these medication methods, if the child's condition is severe and there is a tympanic membrane perforation, surgery is required at the hospital for treatment. Pay attention to a light diet during the day, and a liquid diet should be followed during treatment.
