Patient's question:
Female baby, only 5 years old, this week, the child's ears feel a bit painful. Noticed that there is some yellow earwax leaking out, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How to treat otitis media with ear fullness and pain in children.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be used, or local medications can be applied, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the baby. When the child's ear pain is severe, it is also appropriate to use a small amount of pain-relieving medication. If the child also has a high fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child's condition worsens and results in a eardrum perforation, hospital treatment is required. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
