Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. Recently, the child said his ears feel itchy and painful. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and his ears are buzzing. He also has a slight fever. Could you please advise on how to treat ear pain caused by otitis media in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to the above medication and treatment methods, if the child experiences serious conditions such as a perforated eardrum, timely treatment is required. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods. Rest is also crucial to avoid fatigue.
