Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 1 year old. This week, the child said his ears hurt. Also, there was yellow earwax discharge, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should ear pain caused by otitis media in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, symptomatic use of anti-inflammatory drugs can be applied, and some local treatment methods can also be combined, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the symptoms of ear pain and yellow discharge in the child are severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. Some children may also have a fever at this time. In such cases, oral fever-reducing drugs can be given to the child. If this does not provide relief, it is essential to seek medical attention. The above are common treatment methods. However, if a child develops a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to promptly go to the hospital for surgical treatment. Finally, it is hoped that parents can pay attention to this disease and take their children to the hospital for early treatment. It is also important to pay attention to related prevention and health care measures in daily life.
