How should otitis media with ear fullness and pain be treated in children?

Patient's question:

Boy, he is already 2 years old. Recently, the child told me that his ears are a bit painful. He noticed that occasionally there is also yellow liquid leaking out, and he seems to have no appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear fullness and pain be treated in children?

Doctor's answer:

If a child gets otitis media, you can first use some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Local medication can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. Pain relievers can be given to the child in case of ear pain. Additionally, if the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medications. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child's condition worsens, such as perforation of the eardrum, prompt medical treatment is needed. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
