Patient's question:
Boys, already 9 years old, recently, the child said his ears hurt. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and it was accompanied by a headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media and ear pain in children be treated well.Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs should be administered based on the child's symptoms. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has a high fever, appropriate dosages of fever-reducing drugs should be used. In severe cases, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to the above medication and treatment methods, if the child exhibits severe conditions, such as a tympanic membrane perforation, timely treatment is required. Parents should also pay attention to preventive measures to avoid the recurrence of otitis media.
