Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 4 years old. This week, the child said his ears are itchy and painful. Additionally, it was found that the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow, and the ears are buzzing. There is a slightly low-grade fever. Please ask: How to treat ear pain from otitis media in children better.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them based on symptoms, which may include local drug treatment or the use of anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Additionally, if fever is present, fever-reducing drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are multiple episodes of acute severe symptoms or if a eardrum perforation has already occurred, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to related prevention and health care measures in daily life.
