Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, attending elementary school. In recent days, the child has complained that his ears are itchy and painful, and he has noticed that occasionally yellow fluid is leaking out. At the same time, his appetite is poor, and his throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear pain be treated 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. Parents can use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If it is accompanied by high fever, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if a eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and daily routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
