Patient's question:
Male baby, just turned 2 years old. This week, the child has been scratching his ears and saying they are itchy. Additionally, the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish. Also, there is a buzzing sound in the ears, and there's a slight fever. Question: If the child has otitis media and can't hear clearly, how can 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, and you can also combine some local treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If a child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use some pain-relieving medication to alleviate symptoms. If the child also has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used cautiously. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media currently. Additionally, if there is a situation of a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to undergo surgical treatment 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.
