How to treat earache and ear fullness caused by otitis media in children

Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 4 years old. In the past few days, the child has said her ears hurt. I noticed that occasionally there is also a yellowish liquid leaking out, and her ears are buzzing. She also has a slight fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear fullness and pain be treated in children?

Doctor's answer:

In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatment can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Additionally, if fever is present, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if an eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest.
