Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, has started elementary school. This week, the child said their ears are itchy and painful. They noticed there is a lot of yellow earwax and also have a low fever. Please ask: If a child with otitis media cannot hear clearly, how should it be treated effectively.Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, you can also combine some local treatments, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has ear pain, you can give them pain-relieving medication as needed. If the child has a fever, you can take some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the patient experiences severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, immediate hospital treatment and surgery may be necessary. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
