Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. This week, his ears have been a bit painful. Upon noticing it, I found that the earwax was purulent, slightly yellow. At the same time, it seems that he has no appetite and is also weak. Please ask: How can otitis media be treated effectively when children have ear pain?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotics. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed, using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If a child has severe ear pain, it is recommended to administer pain relief medication based on the situation. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing drugs can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a case of a tympanic membrane perforation, parents can consider surgical treatment for the child. Parents should also pay attention to protective measures for the child to prevent recurrence of otitis media.
