Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. This week, the child told me that his ears are a bit sore. Additionally, I noticed that the earwax is purulent, slightly yellow, and his appetite is also not good, and his throat is uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used in the treatment of otitis media and can be selected as appropriate. Local medication can also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to children. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if a eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as early as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
