Patient's question:
Daughter, only 9 years old, recently, her ears have been a little sore, and there is also yellow earwax discharge. At the same time, she has a low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric otitis media first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medications. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the ear pain is severe, as this can help alleviate the discomfort. If the condition is accompanied by high fever, medication should be administered based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, timely surgical treatment at the hospital is necessary. Parents should also pay attention to preventive measures to avoid the recurrence of otitis media.
