Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. Recently, he said he has ear pain, and there is also yellow earwax discharge. Additionally, he seems to have no appetite and feels very weak. I would like to ask: How should middle ear infection with ear pain be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Parents can use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing medication can also be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media. Furthermore, if there is a perforation of the eardrum, timely surgical treatment is required. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
