Patient's question:
Baby boy, just turned one year old. Recently, the child told me his ears are a bit painful. Additionally, yellow earwax is leaking out. Also, it seems he has no appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How to treat otitis media in children with itchy ears.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is otitis media in children, (treatment based on symptoms) can be given to the child with some antibiotics, which is quite effective. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. In cases of ear pain, pain relief medication can also be given to the child. If the child has a high fever, appropriate fever-reducing medication should be used. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child exhibits symptoms of a tympanic membrane perforation, it is essential to visit the hospital for surgical treatment. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest.
