Patient's question:
Little girl, currently 4 years old. In recent days, the child has been experiencing ear pain. She noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and slightly yellow, and she also hears a buzzing sound in her ear. Additionally, she has a low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear fullness and pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment for pediatric otitis media, the primary approach is the use of antibiotic medications. Symptomatic drugs can be administered based on the child's symptoms, and the effectiveness is quite good. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child experiences severe ear pain, it is recommended to provide pain-relieving medication as needed. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical treatment at the hospital promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media at present. Additionally, if a tympanic membrane perforation occurs, timely surgical treatment is required. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
