Ear infection with ear fullness and pain in children, how should it be treated properly?

Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 1 year old. Recently, the child told me her ears are a bit painful. Upon examination, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and she also has a low-grade fever. Please ask: For otitis media with ear fullness and pain in children, how should it be treated effectively?

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. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate pain-relieving medication can also be given. If the child also has a high fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child exhibits symptoms of a ruptured eardrum, it is necessary to seek surgical treatment at the hospital in a timely manner. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this condition seriously, seek medical treatment for the child as early as possible, and also pay attention to relevant preventive and health care measures in daily life.
