Patient's question:
My daughter is 9 years old. Recently, she has been scratching her ears and complaining of itching. Additionally, there is some yellow earwax discharge, accompanied by low-grade fever. Please advise: How can we effectively treat middle ear infection and ear pain in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose according to symptoms. Parents can use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment for the child. If the child has severe ear pain, it is recommended to give some pain relievers based on the situation. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing drugs can be given to the child. If it cannot be relieved, medical attention must be sought. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to promptly seek hospital treatment for surgery. Finally, it is hoped that parents can pay attention to this disease and take the child to seek medical treatment as soon as possible.。
