Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 9 years old. In recent days, the child told me her ears are a bit painful. I noticed that there is a lot of yellow earwax. Additionally, her appetite is poor, and her throat feels uncomfortable. I would like to ask: If a child with otitis media can't hear clearly, what is the best way to treat it.Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric otitis media can involve using symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used in conjunction. For children with significant ear pain, pain-relieving medications can be administered. If the child also has a high fever, appropriate fever-reducing medication should be used. In severe cases, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The methods mentioned above are commonly used for treating otitis media at present. Additionally, if there is a case of a tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
