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

Patient's question:

Boy, he is already 9 years old. Recently, the child has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. Upon examination, it was found that the earwax was purulent, slightly yellow, and at the same time, it seemed that he had no appetite and was very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with ear fullness and pain be treated in children?

Doctor's answer:

When treating such diseases, you can give children some symptomatic antibiotics. You can perform a bacterial culture of ear secretions and use anti-inflammatory ear drops based on the test results. You can also give pain relievers to children depending on their condition, especially when ear pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a fever, parents can give them some fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a case of a perforated eardrum, parents can consider surgical treatment for the child. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take their children to the hospital for early medical treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures.
