Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 6 years old, recently, the child said her ears hurt. I noticed that occasionally there is also a yellow liquid leaking out, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media (ear infection) with ear pain be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. While taking medication, you can also perform local treatments, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If your child has severe ear pain, you can use pain-relieving medication in moderation. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used based on your child's symptoms. In severe cases, seek immediate medical attention at the hospital. If your child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, timely surgical treatment at the hospital is necessary. During treatment, it is important to provide your child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
