Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. This week, my child has had a slightly painful ear, noticed that there is a lot of yellow earwax, and also poor appetite and a sore throat. Please ask: How can otitis media and ear pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, should be administered based on the child's symptoms. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child experiences severe ear pain, it is recommended to provide pain relief medication based on the situation. If the child also has a high fever, appropriate fever-reducing medication can be considered. However, if the fever persists, it is crucial to seek medical attention promptly. In cases of a perforated eardrum, parents can consider surgical treatment for their child. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their child to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
