Patient's question:
Boy, already 8 years old, this week, the child said his ears are itchy and painful, noticing that occasionally there is also yellow fluid leaking out, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear fullness and pain be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, should be given based on the child's symptoms, and local medication can also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the child. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be considered. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If the symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. Otitis media is characterized by recurrent episodes. If there is a perforation of the eardrum, prompt treatment is required. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
