Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old. This week, the child said her ears are itchy and painful. She noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish. At the same time, her appetite is not good, and her throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should middle ear infections with ear pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, depending on the symptoms. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for children. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be administered. If the child has a fever, antipyretic medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media currently. Moreover, if there is a case of eardrum perforation, timely surgical treatment is required. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Rest should also be ensured to avoid fatigue.
