Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, attending elementary school. This week, the child said his ear hurts. In the morning, yellow earwax flowed out, accompanied by a headache and fever. Question: How to treat ear pain from otitis media in children.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children under the guidance of a doctor. These medications can help alleviate inflammation symptoms. While taking medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If a child's ear pain is severe, a small amount of pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be given, or the child should be taken to the hospital immediately. If the child develops a perforated eardrum, it is advised to seek surgical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further aggravation of symptoms.
