Patient's question:
Baby girl, currently 2 years old. Recently, the child said her ears hurt. Upon examination, it was found that the earwax was purulent, slightly yellow. Additionally, her appetite is poor, and her throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear fullness and pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication should be administered based on the child's symptoms. Parents can use ear drops for local treatment. If the child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, pain relief medication is recommended to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be given, or they should be taken to the hospital immediately. In cases of a perforated eardrum, surgical treatment may be considered for the child. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and supplement nutrients to help them recover as soon as possible.
