How to treat earache from otitis media in children effectively

Patient's question:

Baby boy, just turned 2 years old. This week, the child said his ears hurt. Upon examination, it was found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, and it seemed that he had no appetite and felt very weak. Question: How can otitis media with ear fullness and pain be treated effectively in children?

Doctor's answer:

If a child suffers from otitis media, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be used, and some local treatment methods can also be combined, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. If your child has a problem with a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
