Patient's question:
My child is a male baby, 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 there is a buzzing sound in the ears. Also, there is a slightly low fever. Please ask: How is it better to treat ear pain from otitis media in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used for clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them according to symptoms. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be considered. Additionally, if there is a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if a tympanic membrane perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. Lastly, 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 relevant prevention and health care measures.
