Patient's question:
Female baby, only 1 year old. Recently, the child said her ears are itchy and painful. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and her appetite is poor as well as her throat feeling uncomfortable. Please ask: How should middle ear infection with ear pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. Local medication can also be used, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for children. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to give pain relievers based on the situation. Additionally, if there is a fever, you can take some fever-reducing medication. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child develops a eardrum perforation, it is necessary to promptly go to the hospital for surgical treatment. During treatment, attention should also be paid to arranging a light diet for the child, strengthening nutritional supplements, and helping to facilitate a quicker recovery.
