How to diagnose and treat ear pain from otitis media in children

Patient's question:

Boy, already 5 years old, these past few days, the child's ears have been a bit painful. Upon examination, it was found that the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow, accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How to diagnose and treat otitis media with ear pain in children.

Doctor's answer:

If a child gets otitis media, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be used, or local medication can be applied, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the baby. If the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relief medication should also be given. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used cautiously. If the condition is severe, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. Otitis media is characterized by recurrence, and if there is a perforation of the eardrum, it is necessary to seek medical treatment promptly. Finally, parents should pay attention to this disease and take the child to a doctor for early treatment.。
