Patient's question:
Daughter, currently 3 years old, this week, the child said her ears hurt. I noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and slightly yellow, and there is a buzzing sound in her ears. There's a mild fever as well. Please ask: If the child has otitis media and can't hear clearly, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child has otitis media, anti-inflammatory drugs can be used symptomatically. Local medication can be applied, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to give pain relief medication based on the situation. If the child also has a high fever, appropriate antipyretic medication can be taken. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child's condition worsens severely, such as in the case of a tympanic membrane perforation, timely medical treatment is necessary. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
