Patient's question:
My little girl is 3 years old. Recently, she said her ears are itchy and painful. This morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and her appetite is poor, and her throat feels uncomfortable. Could you please tell me: How should middle ear infection be treated when children can't hear clearly?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on the symptoms. While taking medication, you can also perform local treatments, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relief medication can be given. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing drugs can be administered. In severe cases, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media currently. Additionally, if there is a case of eardrum perforation, it requires timely surgical treatment. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
