Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 8 years old, this week, the child's ears have been a bit painful, and occasionally, there is also a yellowish discharge. Additionally, it seems like the child has no appetite and feels very weak. I ask: How should otitis media with ear fullness and pain be treated better in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is otitis media in children, symptomatic antibiotics can be given to the child, which is quite effective. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. When ear pain occurs, children can also be given pain relievers. If the child has a fever, parents can give fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. Otitis media has a characteristic of recurring, and if there is a case of eardrum perforation, it is necessary to seek timely treatment. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost the immune system and prevent recurrence.
