Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old. Recently, the child has been scratching her ears and complaining of itching. Additionally, she has a lot of yellow earwax, and her ears are buzzing. She also has a slight fever.: How should middle ear infection with difficulty hearing be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, first, you can use some symptomatic antibiotic medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed, using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, you may consider giving some pain-relieving medication. Some children may also have a fever, in which case you can give them oral fever-reducing medication. If this does not alleviate the symptoms, it is essential to seek medical attention. If your child has a problem with a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to promptly go to the hospital for surgical treatment. Parents should also pay attention to taking protective measures for their children to prevent otitis media from recurring.
