Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 7 years old, this week, the child's ears are a bit sore, and the earwax is a lot and yellow. Also, the appetite is not good, and the throat is not comfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media, ear fullness and pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treatment should be based on the child's symptoms and include symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. Local treatment can also be administered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medication may be considered. Additionally, if the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If there are repeated acute severe episodes or if the eardrum has already perforated, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. Parents should also pay attention to proper protective measures for the child to prevent recurrent middle ear infections.
