Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 3 years old. Recently, the child said her ears hurt, and she noticed yellow earwax coming out. Additionally, her appetite is poor, and her throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear pain be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be used appropriately. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be combined. For ear pain, analgesics can be given to the child. Additionally, if fever is present, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if a tympanic membrane perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring the child to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
