Patient's question:
A 3-year-old girl has just started attending kindergarten. This week, the child said her ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, it was found that the earwax was purulent, slightly yellow, and her appetite was also poor, with a sore throat as well. Please ask: How should middle ear infection in children, where they can't hear clearly, be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, or local treatments can be applied. For example, anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used for children, and pain relievers can also be given when the child has ear pain. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These methods are commonly used in the current treatment of otitis media. Additionally, if there is a perforation of the eardrum, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
