Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old. Recently, the child told me that her ears are a bit painful. I noticed that there is a lot of yellow earwax, and her ears are buzzing slightly. She also has a low fever. I would like to ask: How should we treat otitis media pain in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it's pediatric otitis media, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. In cases of ear pain, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If the child also has a high fever, fever-reducing medication can be used as needed. However, if the fever persists, it's crucial to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media currently. Additionally, if there is a case of eardrum perforation, surgical treatment should be administered in a timely manner. During this period, ensure the child gets sufficient rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
