Patient's question:
Boy, already 3 years old, recently, the child has been scratching his ears and saying they itch. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, accompanied by a headache and fever. Question: How should otitis media in children be treated if they cannot hear well?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents, under the guidance of a doctor, choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If a child experiences severe ear pain with yellow discharge, it is advisable to use pain relievers to relieve the symptoms. If the child also has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child develops a ruptured eardrum, it is necessary to visit the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this condition seriously, take their children to the doctor for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
