Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school, recently, the child's ears have been a bit painful, noticed, with yellow earwax discharge, and accompanied by headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media in children with ear pain be treated effectively.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the current methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. For children with significant ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be applied. If the child has a high fever, some fever-reducing medication should be used in moderation. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if a tympanic membrane perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. Parents should also pay attention to taking protective measures for their children to prevent recurrent otitis media.
