Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. Recently, the child told me that his ears hurt a bit. He noticed that the earwax was a bit thick and yellow, and he also had a headache and fever. Please ask: If a child with otitis media can't hear clearly, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. You can also combine some local treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If a child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate symptoms. If the child also has a fever, you can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media is prone to recurrence, so if there is a case of eardrum perforation, it should be treated in a timely manner. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and eats more fruits and vegetables.
