Patient's question:
My little boy is 1 year old. Recently, the child said his ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, yellow earwax came out, and there was a buzzing sound in his ears. He also has a slightly low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear fullness and pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is otitis media in children, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics can be given, which is quite effective. Local medication can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain, it is recommended to give pain relievers based on the situation. If the condition is accompanied by high fever, medication should be used according to the child's symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, immediate surgical treatment in the hospital is required. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent worsening of the symptoms due to catching a cold.
