Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. Recently, he has been complaining of ear pain. In the morning, there was yellow earwax discharge, and at the same time, it seems he has no appetite and feels very weak. I would like to ask: How should otitis media with ear fullness and pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To treat pediatric otitis media, parents can first give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. They can also combine it with some local treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be administered. If high fever is present, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a case of eardrum perforation, parents may consider surgical treatment for their child. Additionally, parents should pay attention to protective measures to prevent the recurrence of otitis media.
