Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. In recent days, the child has said that his ears are itchy and painful. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax, accompanied by a headache and fever. Please ask: How can otitis media with ear fullness and pain be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, symptomatic use of anti-inflammatory drugs is appropriate. Local drug treatment can be chosen, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child's condition is severe and results in a tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment in a hospital is necessary. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the illness recover as soon as possible.
