Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 1 year old. This week, the child said her ears hurt. Upon observation, it was found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, and she also had a buzzing sensation in her ears. Additionally, she had a slight fever. Please ask: If the child has otitis media and cannot hear clearly, what should be the appropriate treatment?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, the right anti-inflammatory medication should be given based on the child's symptoms. Bacterial culture of ear secretions can be performed, and an anti-inflammatory ear drops should be used based on the test results. For children with significant ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be applied. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be administered. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. Otitis media is characterized by recurrent episodes. If there is a punctured eardrum, it requires timely medical treatment. Lastly, parents should pay attention to this condition and seek medical treatment for their children as early as possible. They should also take measures to prevent and maintain good health habits in daily life.
