Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, has started elementary school. In recent days, the child's ear has been slightly painful. Additionally, the earwax is a bit thick and yellow, accompanied by some low-grade fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear fullness and pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications. Local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the child has severe ear pain, pain relievers may be given based on the situation. If the child has a high fever, antipyretic medications should be used cautiously. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a ruptured eardrum, surgical treatment in a hospital is required in a timely manner. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take the child to seek medical treatment as early as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
