Patient's question:
My little girl, she is 6 years old. Recently, she has been scratching her ears and saying they are itchy. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and she also had some low fever. I am asking: How should otitis media with ear pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating, should be given according to the child's symptoms. Local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents can appropriately give pain relievers to relieve it. If the child has a high fever, antipyretic drugs should be used cautiously. If it is serious, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there is a case of a tympanic membrane perforation, parents can consider surgical treatment for the child. During treatment, it is also necessary to pay attention to arranging a light diet for the child, strengthening nutritional supplements, and helping to recover as soon as possible.
