How to treat otitis media with ear expansion and pain in children effectively

Patient's question:

Girl baby, only 1 year old, recently, the child told me her ears are a bit painful. I noticed that occasionally, there is also yellow fluid leaking out. At the same time, her appetite is not good, and her throat is also uncomfortable. Please ask: How can otitis media with ear fullness and pain be treated effectively in children?

Doctor's answer:

If a child gets otitis media, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be used. Local drug treatment is possible, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain, it is recommended to give pain relievers based on the situation. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing medication can also be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there is a case of eardrum perforation, parents can consider surgical treatment for the child. Pay attention to a light diet, and during treatment, a liquid diet should be the main focus.
