Patient's question:
My little boy, he's 4 years old. This week, the child told me his ears are a bit painful, and there's yellow earwax coming out. Additionally, his appetite is not good, and his throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: if a child with otitis media cannot hear clearly, what treatment is most effective.Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Local medication can also be used, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child has ear pain, pain relievers can also be given to the child. Some children may also have a fever at this time, and in such cases, you can give the child oral fever-reducing medication. If it does not relieve the symptoms, it is essential to seek medical attention. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgery as soon as possible. While treating the condition, it is also important to ensure the child has a light diet and adequate nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
