Patient's question:
My little girl is 4 years old this year. This week, her ears have been a bit painful. I noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellow, and she also has some low fever. Please ask: How should acute otitis media with ear pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, you can consider using pain-relieving medication. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used appropriately. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is advisable to go to the hospital for surgery as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
