Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 9 years old. Recently, his ears have been a bit painful. Additionally, he has a lot of yellow earwax, and he is also not eating well and feels uncomfortable in his throat. Please ask: How should otitis media, which causes ear pain, be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be used, or topical medications can be applied, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the baby. If the child has severe ear pain, it is recommended to give pain relievers according to the situation. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media currently. Additionally, if there is a perforation of the eardrum, it needs to be treated with surgery in a timely manner. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take the child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to related prevention and health care work in daily life.
