Patient's question:
Boy, already 4 years old, these past few days, the child's ears have been a bit painful. In the morning, some yellow earwax has been flowing out. Additionally, there is some low-grade fever. Please ask: how should otitis media with ear fullness and pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating otitis media and can be selected accordingly. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents can appropriately give some analgesics to relieve it. If the child also has fever symptoms, they can take some fever-reducing drugs. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if an eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be carried out in a timely manner. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
