Patient's question:
Boys, already 6 years old. In these days, the child has been scratching his ears and saying they are itchy. Upon observation, it was found that the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow, and the ears are buzzing. There is a low-grade fever as well. Please ask: How should acute otitis media with ear fullness and pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric otitis media can use symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms. Local medication can be chosen, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with obvious ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child develops a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional intake to help them recover more quickly.
