Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. This week, my child told me his ear hurts a little. Additionally, I noticed that the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow. At the same time, it seems that he has no appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How is it better to treat otitis media in children with ear pain?Doctor's answer:
If a child develops otitis media, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be used, and some local treatment methods can also be combined, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. In case of ear pain, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If high fever accompanies the condition, medications should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, please go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. If your child has a problem with a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to seek medical treatment in the hospital in a timely manner. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help with early recovery.
