Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. This week, the child said he had ear pain, noticed occasionally there was yellowish fluid leaking out, and his ears were buzzing. He also had a slight fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear fullness and pain be diagnosed and treated 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. Parents can use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the child's ear pain is severe, a moderate amount of pain-relieving medication can also be used. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be administered based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, timely hospital surgery is required. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with additional nutrition, with a diet focused on light foods. Additionally, it is necessary to ensure adequate rest and avoid fatigue.
