Patient's question:
My male baby is 2 years old. Recently, his ears have been a bit painful. Additionally, I noticed that the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow, and his appetite is also poor, with a sore throat. Please ask: How is it better to treat otitis media and ear pain in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, they can first use some symptomatic antibiotic medication. They can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate pain relievers to alleviate it. If the child has a high fever, they should use some fever-reducing medication in moderation. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If your child has a problem with a perforated eardrum, they need to be taken to the hospital for surgery as soon as possible. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and strengthen their nutritional intake to help them recover as soon as possible.
