Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 4 years old, this week, the child told me her ears are a bit sore, and she noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish. Additionally, she seems to have no appetite and feels very weak. Could you please ask: How is it better to treat otitis media (middle ear infection) with ear fullness and pain in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain, it is advisable to give pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child has a eardrum perforation, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid getting cold, which could worsen the symptoms.
