Patient's question:
Little girl, only 5 years old, this week, the child said her ears are itchy and painful. She noticed that occasionally, there is also yellowish fluid discharge, accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How is it better to treat otitis media with ear fullness and pain in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. While taking medication, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be applied. If the ear pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given appropriately. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be administered or the child should be taken to the hospital immediately. These methods are commonly used in the treatment of otitis media. Additionally, if a eardrum perforation occurs, timely surgery is necessary. During treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional intake to support early recovery.
