Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 1 year old. In the past few days, the child has been scratching her ears and complaining of itching. Additionally, she has a lot of yellow earwax. She is also experiencing poor appetite and a sore throat. Please ask: How should otitis media (middle ear infection) with ear pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be used. Local medication can be administered, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be chosen. For children with significant ear pain, analgesic drugs can be used. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used appropriately. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media is characterized by recurrence, and if there is a perforation of the eardrum, timely treatment is required. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and sleep habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
