Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 4 years old, this week, the child's ears are a bit sore. In the morning, the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, and it seems that she has no appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media in children be treated if the child cannot hear clearly?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric otitis media can involve the use of symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms. Local treatments can also be applied, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. For children with pronounced ear pain, analgesic medications may be applied. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used cautiously. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media is prone to recurrence, and if there is a case of tympanic membrane perforation, timely treatment is necessary. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest.
