Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 3 years old. This week, the child said his ears feel itchy and painful. Additionally, the earwax is a bit thick and yellow. Also, his appetite is not good, and his throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How to treat effective otitis media with ear fullness and pain in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications should be given based on the child's symptoms. Local treatments can also be applied, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the child's primary symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a high fever, it is advisable to use fever-reducing medications in moderation. In severe cases, prompt medical attention is necessary. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, it is essential to seek surgical treatment at the hospital in a timely manner. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
