How should otitis media with ear fullness and pain be treated for children?

Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 7 years old, this week, the child told me her ears hurt a little. Upon noticing it, I found the earwax to be purulent, slightly yellow, and accompanied by headache and 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 currently the methods and medications used in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose according to symptoms. Parents can use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has a high fever, antipyretic drugs should be used cautiously. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If your child has a perforated eardrum, it is important to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. Finally, it is hoped that parents can pay attention to this disease, take their children to the doctor for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to related prevention and health care measures in daily life.
