Patient's question:
Boy, he is 8 years old. This week, the child said his ears feel itchy and painful. In the morning, there was yellow earwax discharge, and he also had a headache and fever. Please ask: How should acute otitis media with ear fullness and pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, first, they can take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. They can also combine it with some local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used appropriately. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media has a characteristic of recurring episodes. If there is a perforation of the eardrum, it is important to seek timely medical treatment. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
