Patient's question:
Boys, just turned 6 years old. In recent days, the child said his ears were itchy and painful. He noticed that the earwax was a bit thick and yellowish. At the same time, it seems he has no appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How to treat otitis media and ear pain in children.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, they can first be given some symptomatic antibiotic medication. Parents can apply anti-inflammatory ear drops locally to the child for treatment. If the child has significant ear pain, they can also be given appropriate pain-relieving medication. If the child has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media currently. Additionally, if there is a case of eardrum perforation, it requires timely surgical treatment. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
