Patient's question:
Baby boy, just turned 2 years old. This week, the child's ears have been a bit painful. Noticed that there is some yellow earwax discharge. Additionally, there's a buzzing sound in the ears and a slight fever. Question: How is it best to treat otitis media and ear pain in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, and local treatment can also be applied, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for children. For children with prominent ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. In cases of eardrum perforation, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. Additionally, parents should pay attention to protective measures for the child to prevent the recurrence of otitis media.
