How to treat ear pain from otitis media in children

Patient's question:

Boy, just turned 7 years old. This week, the child told me his ears are a bit sore. I noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and slightly yellow, and his ears are buzzing, and he has a slight fever. Please ask: How to treat ear pain from otitis media in children?

Doctor's answer:

Treating pediatric otitis media first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medications. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical treatment immediately. In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child exhibits severe conditions, such as a ruptured eardrum, timely treatment is required. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
