Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 4 years old. Lately, the child said her ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and slightly yellow. At the same time, her appetite is not good, and her throat also feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear fullness and pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, they can first use some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Local medication can also be applied, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child also has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if a eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. Parents should also pay attention to protecting the child to prevent the recurrence of otitis media.
