Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old this year. This week, the child told me that his ears are a bit painful. I noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellow, and there is a buzzing sound in his ears. There is also a slight fever. Please ask: How should the treatment for otitis media with ear fullness and pain in children be improved?Doctor's answer:
The treatment for pediatric otitis media can use symptomatic medication based on the child's symptoms. Parents can use topical treatments like anti-inflammatory ear drops for their children. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to administer pain relievers based on the situation. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used according to the child's symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical treatment promptly. In addition to these medication methods, if the child's condition worsens and an eardrum perforation occurs, hospital surgery is required. Parents should also pay attention to preventive measures to avoid recurrent otitis media.
