How to treat ear pain from otitis media in children

Patient's question:

Boy, he is already 3 years old. Recently, the child said his ears hurt, and it was noticed that there was yellow earwax leakage. Additionally, his appetite is not good, and his throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media and ear pain be treated in children?

Doctor's answer:

If a child gets otitis media, they can be given anti-inflammatory drugs for symptomatic treatment. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. Pain relievers can be given based on the child's condition, especially when the ear pain is intense, to help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a high fever, some fever-reducing drugs should be used in moderation. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child has a eardrum perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. Pay attention to a light diet during the day, and a liquid diet should be followed during the treatment period.
