Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old this year. This week, the child has been scratching his ears, saying they are itchy. In the morning, there was yellow earwax discharge, and his ears were buzzing slightly. He also had a low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear fullness and pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the current methods and medications used in clinical treatment of otitis media in children. Parents can choose them according to symptoms. Local treatment can also be applied, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents provide appropriate pain relief medication. If the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if a eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
