Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. This week, the child has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, yellow earwax was discharged, and at the same time, it seems that he has little appetite and is also weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor according to the symptoms. Local medication can also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to a baby. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to give some pain-relieving medication depending on the situation. If the child has a high fever, appropriate dosage of fever-reducing medication should be used. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child has a eardrum perforation, it is necessary to visit the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. During treatment, it is also important to provide your child with a light diet, enhance nutritional intake, and help them recover sooner.
