Patient's question:
Female baby, only 3 years old. In recent days, the child said her ears hurt. In the morning, I found the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, and her appetite was also poor, and her throat felt uncomfortable. Please ask: How to treat ear pain caused by otitis media in children effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, first, they can use some symptomatic antibiotic medication, or local medication, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the child. If the child's ear pain is severe, they can also be given pain relievers as needed. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical attention at the hospital as soon as possible. If there is a case of eardrum perforation, parents can consider surgical treatment for the child. Pay attention to a light diet, and mainly consume liquid food during the treatment period.
