Patient's question:
A 3-year-old girl just started attending kindergarten. Recently, she has complained that her ears are itchy and painful. It has been noticed that there is yellow earwax discharge, and she also seems to have a poor appetite and low energy. Please ask: How should we treat middle ear infection with ear fullness and pain in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. Ear secretion bacterial culture can be conducted, and anti-inflammatory ear drops should be used based on the test results. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to give painkillers according to the situation. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is essential to seek medical attention. The above methods are commonly used in the treatment of otitis media. Additionally, if a tympanic membrane perforation occurs, timely surgery is required. Parents should also pay attention to taking protective measures for their children to prevent recurrent otitis media.
